All RAAF MRTTs are being delivered with tanking gear, and initial trials have been done with classic and Super Hornets. They are working hard to achieve IOC later this year with the pods and hoses, but the boom is still sometime away...

There are plans to take one to Red Flag sometime this year, although these are tentative and, the jet may just be used for dragging the Super Hornets over the pond rather than participating.

There is no scope to operate any as VIP transports - they have been fitted with high capacity pax interiors the same at QF A332s.
