Farewell to a Classic

https://www.abc.net.au/news/2021-11-...nets/100658448

I remember the RAAF put on a display for the pollies when Beazley was Defense Minister to show off what was then the brand new toy. The F18 was in front of the Mirage and within two and a half turns was behind it all within the boundary of Canberra Airport. I also remember watching an F14 going through its paces over Canberra when the competition to replace the Mirage was in full swing.
