Pilots from the Timor Leste Aviation Group reach 5,000 flying hours on Operation Astute
For the Timor Leste Aviation Group (TLAG 10) it’s been a busy four months deployment to East Timor as part of Operation Astute.
They have spent their time moving troops, supplies and equipment as well as assisting with aero-medical evacuations and VIP visits.
Operation Astute is the Australian contribution to the International Stabilisation Force in East Timor.
Just as TLAG 10 was working with their Aviation Group replacements, TLAG 11, they clocked up the 5,000th flying hour collectively undertaken during Operation Astute since 2006.
The familiarisation flights saw both crews in the air when they reached the milestone.
TLAG 10 members have just returned home after their deployment for some well earned rest.
