Video
I work with some ex-RAAF pilots and they have some good videos worth seeking out- Hornet and Mirage stuff around the Northern Territory.
The Mirage is exilarating to watch-low level up the Daly River or in dogfights using it's unbelievable roll rate.
The Hornet is a bit ho-hum after watching the Mirage. Looks slow and cautious in the low level scenes but the gun camera stuff excellent- versus F15's and zippy F16's.

Look under the bushflying one for some great footage of a supercub waterskiing onto riverbanks to short to land on....much more too besides.

Have asked around and the video of the Mirages is at the RAAF Museum at Pt Cook in a video presentation. Not sure how you could obtain it.
If the same as the one I watched, Darwin based Mirages with a background of 80's rock and roll music-quite well done and without corny Americanism's.
Israeli gun camera footage from the Six Day War was tacked on to the end of the version I saw aswell. Low level strafing and dogfighting. More srafing than dogfighting
The Egyptians caught with their pants down ( or at morning prayer ).

This link, thanks to Skylark3 over on the African Forum, shows a little of the Transafrik B727 operation in Angola. Not military, but not for the faint-hearted either. Its about a 4mb download...

Wow Herc - that is amazing.
I would just love to hear non-hushkitted JT8D-15s bellowing again.
The old 727 is just the best looking aeroplane, with the 757 a close second.
By the way, have you seen the very pretty Heavylift 727-100 in fresh new paint at CNS? There is also a very impressive looking C130 in their colours that seems to be based there.
Thanks and best regards

Pretty good... for a jet
And those JT8-Ds are partially responsible for some of my hearing damage. What? Mr Boeing sure built them well- that vid is ops normal, i have photos of them there in the rain and the place turns into a mud bath.
BTW haven't been to CNS for a few weeks so i may not have seen it, but you're not thinking of the Bristol Frieghter that has been at CNS and in BNE recently? Both big beasties with the same slim-line design but i think the Bristol outweighs the Herc by 20t or so...
