The RAAF has 13 left now after 285 was damged on landing in Efogi PNG last year. It had to be dismantled and the fuselage had to be cut up with an angle grinder so that it could be transported back to Oz by air and sea. You have to remember there is always a few in deeper level servicing, and some away at most times, so getting 13 up everyday is never really ever going to happen.


this is my favourite photo, taken in Noumea last year on excercise.
