At the moment, just wishful thinking...
it would not surprise me I have read / heard (please forgive the pun) that enthusiasts over Nevada way claim they have Heard- British type accents on the airwaves over the ‚box‘. and it was not Red Flag time either and the platform flying was not stated. So maybe they were RAAF TPS ( on an amusing note I myself have been confused with sounding like down under by various cabbies in USA and even in my other neck of the woods in Austria!! &#128513

Tbh also with Loyal Wingman program sold to RAAF and already entering service with one airframe, says it all about special relationship is a tad different to our one.

Then again what’s Austtalian strategic vision regarding the pacific areas and if we had the dish could we partake or even in an alternate universe go back to the days of strategic bombing...

cheers
