Antonov Delivers FA/-18 Hornet to RAAF Williamtown
On Thursday, RAAF Base Williamtown played host to a Ukrainian transport aircraft, the Antonov An-124.
The An-124 delivered a F/A-18 Hornet which made its journey from RAAF Williamtown to Canada and then back home.
The purpose of the journey was to complete a vital modification as part of the Centre Barrel Replacement program.
The program is part of Project AIR5376 – Hornet Upgrade, carried out on the RAAF Hornet fleet in order to maintain aircraft to their highest operational capabilities and meet the fleet’s planned withdrawal date of 2015-2018.
