  • Exercise Diamond Storm 22 took to warm Northern Territory skies on 30 May 2022, and we captured some of the airside action at RAAF Base Darwin.
    The exercise is the culmination of the six-month-long Air Warfare Instructor Course, with students facing down the most challenging missions of their career. When they graduate, they’ll form part of an intelligent and skilled workforce to deliver air power for the joint force. The exercise continues until 24 June 2022.

    Flew out of Darwin on the 9th of June. Had five hours waiting for my flight and was entertained by the fly over, take offs and landings.

    Congratulations, and a job well to the Royal Australian Air Force! It is _mundane_ exercises like this that help turn a collection of equipment and personnel into a well honed fighting force. It takes an unbelievable amount of time, effort, money, skill, and professionalism to allow an Air Force to perform air missions.
    This simple fact is the reason the Russian Air Force still has not been able to achieve air dominance against a vastly weaker opponent.

    I think the RAAF needs some new AV people. Maybe look to the enthusiasts pages instead as they tend to have quite good equipment and know how to use it.
