The largest RAAF domestic training exercise in 2021 was "Arnhem Thunder 21" that took place from May 17th to June 15th 2021. Taking part in the exercise were F/A-18 Super Hornets, EA-18G Growlers, F/A -18A/B Hornets air re-fueling aircraft, transports and airborne early warning aircraft. Also including in "Exercise Arnhem Thunder 21" were F-35As from 3 Squadron, Williamtown. Two of the F-35As were set up in the Beast Mode, A35-022 and A35-028 carrying inert GBU-12 for the first time on way to their Delamere Air weapons Range. Designed to meet the US Military's requirement for a multi-role Joint Strike Fighter, the F-35 was first flown on December 15, 2006. This single-seat fighter is one of the most advanced aircraft of our time, said to be four times more effective at air-to-air combat and eight times more effective at air-to-ground combat than any other existing aircraft. It uses a low-maintenance stealth technology, and some versions have an innovative Lift System, which gives the F-35 vertical take-off and landing capabilities. The US plans to buy a total of 2,443 F-35s at a cost of $323 billion, which makes the F-35 the most expensive defense program in history. © Copyright 2003-2024 The Flying Mule, Inc.
