Pitch Black 2010
30 July 2010 As the sun sets over Darwin, members of No. 13 Squadron barrier crew check the airfield arrestor systems prior to the next wave of military aircraft landings. The F/A-18 Hornets operating from RAAF Darwin, RAAF Williamtown and RAAF Tindal use the arrestor cable, similar to that on aircraft carriers, as an emergency stopping system. |
