Absolutely amazing to watch that from 1985 and in 2021 the last 75 sqn Hornet landed for the last time after 36 years of fantastic service. I will miss the ol' girl.

Some of my school mates in Melbourne were American. Their dads worked for McConnell Douglas. We all got heaps of free posters !!

Glad you're enjoying them, All Good. A video of our deployment to Ohakea in 1984 is in the works (with video of flying around Mt Ruapehu).

Wow it seemed so modern in 1985 when I was 15 amazing how much things have changed. Going to be an amazing day when the 35 is retired.

Many of these Airframes will be going over to Canada as these in the right hands are still very capable machines.

So futuristic even today and yet it's now outdated.

As soon as I saw "1985" I knew what the music was going to sound like!
