It is a reality for all RAAF pilot aspirants that the only aircraft they might get to fly in their careers is a Kingair. It is a legitimate (if not disapponting) career path in the RAAF to be a Kingair pilot for life.
You mean you can go through your whole career without ever being operational...Never!!!

At a recent airshow I heard an interview with Roulette seven and was surprised to hear that he had only flown the PC9 and B350 in RAAF service. Not the fault of the guys but a very sad state of affairs none the less. If you're not flying a tactical machine then what is the point of being in the ADF? You might as well fly a bus...

Bring on the 10 C-27s, and more if we can get them. Hopefully this will revive tactical airlift/airdrop in the ADF.
