    Wonderful seeing so many top guns, and so many beautiful aircraft from all over the world coming together in the cause of freedom. It is also fabulous seeing increasing numbers of women amongst the men in service of their countries. We all grow stronger by working together as friends and allies, and learning how to cooperate in the skies as a team. And a big shout out to all the dedicated ground crew who work so hard to keep those birds in the air. Australia welcomes every one of you, and thanks you for your service.

As an Indian it's always our favourite sight to watch the backbone of our Air Force ( 270 of them we fly in the IAF ) in action especially as most of the Fighters here will necessarily be from the western world's inventory. Always a sight for us to marvel at.. Thank you Royal Australian Airforce for hosting us at Pitch Black 24.

Do you reckon we can see the Singaporean F-15SG Fighter Jets, the German Eurofighter Typhoon and the EA-18G Growlers next, if that's OK? Thank you. We like this video. Keep up the good work.

    I did PitchBklack 90 with 2Cav. We were up there driving th ADGies around in M113s as the ADGies were apparently thinking about getting AFVs were were there to demo to them. " Way different show now though - so many countries particxipaing - the only ones I can remember for sure from 90 were the US and Singaporean A4s - although i don't think we saw those at Tindal. It was still an awesome experience for a 20 year old digger - we were pretty close to the end of te\he runway next to some hardened shelters so we'd see the F/A-18s and whatyever else lifting of in pairs and 4s - which is really cool at night wth the luminous strips and burners. The only downside was the dogs around the aircraft shelters which were where the nearest toilets were. One day we're sitting on the edge of the strip in our harbour and we get air alert red weapons free over the net. The next you you know this B52 comes in maybe 30m off the grounds and straight over the top us. Like we were in it's shadow for what seemed like ages (in reality probaby 2 seconds). We got credited with an exercise kill. Imagine that flying all the qay from Guam in a B52 just to get theorectially klilled by a troops pf cavalry you just have the misfortune to fly over. But one .50cal and one .30 cal on every vehicle at 50-75, range we probably would have damaged it pretty bad with live rounds.

    you dont even have any assets but have to rely on outside assets to even be able to do any training. Thats still not going to help you in an actual conflict, when you literally have nothing to defend yourself with. I love how you ridiculous nonsense run your mouth while you have no air assets of your own, but the few USMC aviation units imbedded in Perth who have a much bigger air asset than your entire nation, even though they themselves are a pretty small unit. The way you nonsense that live in deluded nonsense backwater is remarkable to say the least.
