McDonnell Douglas F/A-18 Hornet in Australian service

edit

One of the RAAF's F/A-18 Hornets landing in 2011

  • ... that the Royal Australian Air Force's F/A-18 Hornet fighters (pictured) have been deployed as far afield as Qatar and Alaska, and have also flown defensive patrols over Australian cities?

  • Article new enough, large enough, and fully referenced. Hook correct size, references verified. Planes made excessive noise patrolling over Canberra. Image is high quality and properly licensed but not in the article. Can the rules be bent to allow this? Hawkeye7 (talk) 11:39, 23 April 2012 (UTC)
  • I've just added it to the article; there was room, and the article didn't have a photo of an F/A-18A by itself. Nick-D (talk) 11:57, 23 April 2012 (UTC)
