AWAC
 

I believe I saw an AWAC to the south of Melbourne this morning but might be mistaken.

Do we have many of those? I've seen one at Avalon last year I think it was or the show before.

If it wasn't, do they get down here much?

Based at Williamtown, I have never seen one flying despite going to Willy almost daily!:eek:

Out of curiosity, would crosswind landings be more interesting than normal in that thing???

Saw one doing circuits at Edinburgh a couple of weeks ago and I know they are expanding the facilities at Tindal to house a wedgie and tanker.
May have a bit more of the RAAFs heavy metal filling the skies hereabouts some time soon.

Pharcanell, Yes I think you can count on see a bit more RAAF heavy metal around. Now that the acquisition of a sixth C17 has been made official and the unsolicited offer from Airbus for a sixth tanker is being thought about chances are good that some different machinces will be over your way in the coming years.

I have heard them in the air a few times, but never seen one.

I have heard them.......and seen them....might even have a picture of one burning over head as we were in Katherine Gorge. ;)

I'll see what I can dig out of the photo's file!


Here we go!
