I was up in Darwin a few weeks ago while the major US/Aust. exercise was in full swing and some clown wrote in to the local rag complaining about the noise of the jets over the city and suggesting that they all should be moved far away from the civilian population centres while "they played their games". (He actually made some such put down comment, that it was all merely boys with toys etc.)
Someone, (I'd be guessing someone who wore a drab khaki uniform to work), wrote in the next day with that same comment - "It's the sound of freedom."
It's a pity Ronnie RAAF doesn't run a tour of the air base to show such clowns the cannon shell holes - not "ours"! - in the roof frame of one of the main hangars that was in situ in February 1942. (I assume they're still there.)
