Hi all,
Today I had the privilege of shooting a 12-ship Hornet formation and then individual beatups at low level as they returned to RAAF Base Williamtown today. 2OCU had been away on a conversion course, sort of like Jehovah's Witness except you end up a fighter pilot. Actually nothing like a Jehovah's Witness. Anyway, hope you enjoy my photos. The formation looked like a big number 2 from where I was located.                    And my favourite from the day as this Hornet passed across the sun in front of me:  |

Bet that sounded awesome. Loved Anzac Day when I lived in Canberra and they'd fly low in formation over my house before a fly over of the war memorial.

Makes me miss my time in the RAAF. Best beat-up was a J model Herc on return from the gulf over Pearce. If he was 100' he was lucky

Awesome shots! I was able to get a couple of photos of these planes when they arrived, doing a tour over Brisbane. They seem to be equipped with more options now!
