Pitch black Air Force Cadets from the NT check out an F-111

Australian Air Force Cadets from the units in the Northern Territory have come face to face with the hardware and personnel participating in Exercise Pitch Black. The visit is one of their last chances to see the F-111 "Pig" strike jet while it's still in Air Force service, as well as being an oportunity to pose a few questions to current serving members of the Air Force.
