34 Squadron's Unsung Hero
04 August 2008
An ‘unsung hero’ of the Air Force within its operational realm is No 34 Squadron. 34 Squadron have a requirement to be ready to deploy both domestically and internationally, with as little as three hours notice to move – 365 days a year! Those are ‘preparedness statistics’ that any commander in the Australian Defence Force would be proud to boast.
