F/A-18's and F111's from different squadrons launching for operations
at Tindal
The
exercise-flying period is scheduled for 22 May 06 to 14 Jun 06 and
will include periods of night and early morning flying however noise
minimisation efforts will be taken to avoid disturbance to the residents
of Tindal, Darwin and other surrounding Northern Territory communities.
Weekend flying is not scheduled.
The
Office Commanding the exercise Group Captain David Steele said:
“Exercise
ACES NORTH will test and validate the knowledge and skills gained
over the last few months of the prospective fighter combat instructors,
fighter air defence combat controllers and fighter intelligence
officers.”
“Whilst
the exercise is focussed around these young men and women, it also
puts a lot of other Air Combat Group and Surveillance and Response
Group assets through their paces at the tactical level. Also, a
deployment of this size places a considerable impost on the Combat
Support Group elements in place at both RAAF Tindal and Darwin.”
