    You should have paid Pap to give it a service, how long since the belts were done?

    Some good stuff. Turbulence in the first one is epic.

    That’s pretty awesome Simon. I remember a similar video from a few years ago that was just as amazing. I’ll have to find it…

    That's great!
    Why does Brisbane get all the fun? I'd love the RAAF to do that sort of thing from time to time in all the cities.

    It's where all the good planes are based but Darwin and Townsville use to see plenty of action :)

    The F-111s took off from RAAF base Townsville in '79 and came in from the ocean 200' off the deck "just" over mach 1 ..... oops, shattered many windows and killed MANY chickens :p

    I made up a stencil of a chicken and sprayed a few chickens on the radome :p

    DOD got a BIG bill from the chicken farmers :p
