RAAF 77 SQDN Mirage III Townsville Deployment June 1985
Bruce Mouwet and Ross Fox picked up the first two Hornets from Geelong and delivered them to Williamtown NSW.
Squadron Leader Ross Fox…love of my life. Killed on training excercise 2 August 1990, aged 39. Loved forever
I’m Australian into my surprise hornet fleet is Australian
Reggie and Sinjon Smith - two off the best instructors I had the pleasure of learning from - I hope you guys are well.
Ah, the good old days, hey Rat?
That's it Jabba, reminds me of in the back sweating our butts off at the range!
@@rodentflyingfilms7868 Yep, constant thrust, variable noise! 100% efficient in converting AVTUR into noise and still not enough bleed air to run the air-con!
@@jabs767
1985? Are you sure? I'm ex RAAF didn't we still have Mirages then?
Craig, yes we did still have Mirages then. These Hornets were the first ones the RAAF received in 1985. The last Mirage wasn't retired from squadron flying until 1988. This deployment at TVL was of Mirages and Hornets. I took the video.
@@rodentflyingfilms7868 ok no worries thanks for correcting me.
The old mud dart. Awesome 😎
Awesome 👍
Nostalgic!
Awesome mate 👍🇳🇿✈️
Awesome mate like a dart👍✈️🇳🇿
Cool dart! ✈️👍🇳🇿
Nicknamed "The Pointy". 👍
Nice one!.. thanks from across the ditch ✈️🇳🇿
Aerial ballet✈️🇦🇺! and RIP Tom Petty 🙏🎶
Do you have any interviews with Ross Fox?
I was there, remember the day well. Young lac then
Absolutely fantastic!
I really enjoyed this airshow at Richmond. I was there as ground crew with the RAAF Roulettes Aerobatic Team deployed from RAAF Base East Sale. This was the last time the Roulettes flew as a full five ship Aeromaachi team prior to converting to the PC9.
The love of my life was a fighter pilot there that day. Then off to pick up one of the first two Hornets from Pt Cook to be delivered to Williamtown
RIP Mondo
Ahh yes “ four thousand million”
Known as the French Lady
What a great video! Glad you uploaded it!
My pleasure, Brendan, glad you like it.
I’m absolutely thrilled that this video was created and posted here. This was my Pilots’ Course. The 11 graduating course members were … N.J.Lines W.A.Somerfield A.C.Nelson T.J.McCormick T.Y.Lim (RMAF) M.G.M.Measday Bhupindr Singh (RMAF) A.C.Adkins I.K.Jenkins J.C.Walley (myself) D.N.Barnes Dedication + Hard Work = Extreme Satisfaction.
Glad you like it, Jim! Cheers, Al
@@rodentflyingfilms7868Nev Lines sent it to me Al. What wonderful memories it brings up. Take care Al. Cheers mate !!! Jim.
BTW Al … the beautiful Lady I’ve been dating for the past 4 months mentioned on our first date, that her best friend was married to a Pilot … “I think his name was Barnes” she stated. I pulled out my phone & looked up one of our graduating photos … “Not this Dave Barnes ???” I asked. “Oh my God … yes … that’s him !!!” She replied. What a small world it is Al. Hope you & your family are all doing extremely well. All’s great on my end. Cheers once again mate.
I was at 3SQN when Jeppo and the 707 crew went in 😣
From Sydney suburbs took me 2 hours to get out of the car park, we popped in to a place called Pelican Pizza at The Entrance for dinner and arrived home at midnight............well worth the effort.
Often a drama leaving RAAF bases after airshows! 😂
A sad day. Should never of happened. Damn Keating,
I think the woman on the left is Vicky, Ross Fox’s wife and two boys.
Essendon football club should have bought one, painted it red and black and used it as a gate guardian at the club.
I remember this video was on repeat in the RAAF Museum at Point Cook when I was a kid!!! So many memories came flooding back watching this!! Thankyou for sharing.
I knew Ross Fox who brought the first hornet to Williamtown with Bruce Mouatt. He was killed at Hornet Hill in a mid air collision. 02.08.1990. X still love him.
Wow! Magnificent filming! Right on th nose! 😊 very kool! I was but a kid at this. My Father worked in aviation for 40 years at Bankstown H.D.H. 🤘🏼🇦🇺🤘🏼❤️
❤I met Ross Fox at a party. Perfect.
Dads favourite, loved his 'French lady'
Mick was a legend, Dave.
Nice of Gus to lend his bone dome
Amazing!!!
I use that livery when playing DCS
SMASH
Erm What the sigma?
They started a new life in Pakistan.
PAF used these in recent Indian misadventure.
It's Sad that Mark took His own life - He acheived so much more than most people could ever dream of in their lifetime - Hope He's happier, wherever he is 😔
So the older jets had exhaust fume trails ?
Yes, the Mirage had a smoke modification that could be fitted as required (not fitted for normal ops). Smoke oil was contained in the gunbay fuel tank (where the gunpack was normally fitted) and fed through an external pipe along the fuselage to the engine exhaust. The heat of the jet efflux would turn the oil to smoke. The pilot controlled the oil flow with the switch that normally transferred fuel out of the gunbay tank. The RAAF F-18s were not fitted with smoke.
Damn, I miss this Australian Super Hornet fleet 😢
Hornet*
Awesome video! I remember our family stopping at Williamtown when I was a kid and one mirage did at least 3 touch n go’s pulling up into low level dark cloud basically doing loops through the cloud then landing again it was just incredible
Great aircraft and display
Cheeky heads-up display footage of an F15C in the gun sight of the Hornet. Love it👍
Hornet stinging the eagle! :)
75 Squadron were based at RAAF Butterworth Malaysia there call signs were Cobra and Viper when &5 Squadron RAF visited their call sign was Mongoose
Flying the MAcchi out of Pearce and doing this stuff was the best year of my life. Wish I could go back.
That window in Canberra, was the window of a beauracrat that had advised that the F111s be retired. The F18F that flies now is less capable than the F111, cheaper though. To replace the F111 they needed to replace them 3 to 1 to maintain capability, they replaced them 1 to 1.
Good video
