Air to Air
Australian Air Force top guns tested their air combat skills against six United States Air National Guard F-15C Eagle fighter aircraft.
The aircraft, from Air National Guard elements in Oregon, Washington and Hawaii, will be based at RAAF Williamtown from 20 August to 20 September 2008 to support Number 30 Fighter Combat Instructor’s course.
The course, which began on 30 June and will conclude on 22 December 2008, will provide participating Royal Australian Air Force F/A-18 and F-111 pilots and Air Combat Officers with the highest possible level of fighter combat skills.
The F-15C Eagle aircraft will provide Dissimilar Air Combat Training, with support provided by C-17 transports and a KC-10 air-to-air refueller from the Oregon Air National Guard, a KC-135 air-to-air refueller from the Washington Air National Guard, and C-17 transports from the Hawaii Air National Guard.
