ErnstBlofeld Posted September 10, 2010 Share Posted September 10, 2010 (edited) Roxy Downs Sun: Australia’s first “Super Hornets” are conducting their first live weapon trials at the Woomera test range. The new $60 million F/A-18F Super Hornet will replace the air force’s 40-year-old F-111s. The jets, which can reach speeds of 2000km/h, have been making the flight from Edinburgh to Woomera each morning to test the air-to-ground weapons since August 30, and will continue until September 15. The trials aim to complete “Initial Operational Capability” by December. [/article] Edited September 23, 2010 by Rheo snipped Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
