Baucau Airport
- ... that the only ever hijacking of a Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) aircraft began at Baucau Airport, East Timor, in 1975, and ended at RAAF Base Darwin? Source: The Guardian: "In September 1975 my grandfather, Abilio Henriques, was among 44 refugees who ...[came to] Darwin ... from then Portuguese Timor, now Timor-Leste, on board the only Royal Australian air force plane ever hijacked." ... "... the Caribou flew into Baucau, expecting a quick stop ... before returning to Darwin." ... "Aggressively, Gil motioned to the pilots to load the plane and waved the Timorese on board. “We were reluctantly being hijacked,” says Browne."

- Just a comment for now but I agree that the Darwin mention makes the hook a bit unwieldly and it would be better to delete it. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 12:30, 23 February 2022 (UTC)

Overall: 
Have you done a quid pro quo review yet? If so, add it to the nomination. If not, please do one now and then, add it to nomination. Every other qualification is met: the article was expanded fivefold, is long enough, is compliant with policy, and the hook is cited and interesting enough.

- @Lazman321: Thanks for the review. QPQ now done. I agree with the comment that the hook is better if shortened to "... that the only ever hijacking of a Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) aircraft began at Baucau Airport, East Timor, in 1975?" Bahnfrend (talk) 02:08, 17 March 2022 (UTC)
Okay, quid pro quo has now been satisfied. I will now pass this nomination. Lazman321 (talk) 02:27, 17 March 2022 (UTC)
