The Mighty Fin

The RAAF do use the Super Hornets low level. An ex F111 Nav who is now on the Rhino told me they can and do fly the same profiles that the Pig flew except for the hard ride tfr mode which was 50ft ( you would need balls of steel to fly at 50ft at night in northern NSW ). He was sitting in A44-208 at the time with what appeared to be sand blasted paint on the wing leading edges. The jet had been in Australia for less than a month at the time.
