- With Exercise Pitch Black 2022 now in its first week and in full swing with 17 nations 2500 personnel and over 100 aircraft participating we look at Royal Australian Air Force arrivals into RAAF Base Darwin.
Various units from the RAAF are participating in Pitch Black 2022 operating from RAAF Base Darwin and RAAF Base Tindal in the Northern Territory and RAAF Base Amberley in South Eastern Queensland.
Stay tuned for our videos from Pitch Black 2022 starting from the end of this week (August 26th, 22)
With this video we look back at our raw footage from on base at RAAF Base Darwin of aircraft returning to base during Ex Diamond Storm 22 held several weeks ago.

I think that the first few Hornets are EA-18G Growlers from No.6 Squadron Amberley.
Especially A46-306 in the 1917-2017 100 years livery.
They are, 2 things, the special 100th anniversary jet had 6sqn written on it, which is the Growler Sqn and the item on the 2nd hard point from the wing tip is the ALQ-99 jamming pod which only the Growler can operate.
Excellent video on the mighty fa 18 and the f35

Cheers, glad you enjoyed the footage!
Yes they do
Interesting how the f35 has a nose up landing position compared to the fa 18 also are some fa 18 carrying air to air missiles? Looks like that on some pilons
Some are Super Hornets some are Growlers with the jamming pods. The RAAF is the only air force in the world to have them besides the USAF and USM. The Growlers have the air to air on the pilon instead of the wing tip like the Super Hornet.
I think if an F/A-18 arrives, it's RAAF Base Darwin.
If a Qantas or VA jet arrives, then it's Darwin Airport!
Not really, it is YPDN either way.

🤙🤙
Sharing the same runway with civil and military.
Why does the F35 have such a high nose attitude on landing?
vectored thrust
They use the NT but not WA?
its closer to everything asia...
Truscott Airbase, shhh
Exercise Pitch Black
Watching these F35 landings and I'm like...oh those are sweet flat approaches and beautiful landings..am I beginning to like those things after all this time?!? What my late stepfather Charlie would call 'grass cutter' landings. Whereas the Superhornet cannot help itself but plonk itself down, still far superior to those US Navy pilots' "arrivals"!
Gosh they really need to water that grass....
You’ve obviously never been to Northern Territory in Australia.
@@chrispender79 I live in Darwin
In obsolete FA-18
Super Hornets were built in 2009. The Growlers were built in 2015. Not particularly old or obsolete.
@@MMG008 they are obsolete regardless what year they were designed or built

What makes them "obsolete"
🤔
@@MegaRyan123456 I will point out a few details and will not be explaining my points. 1 - First Gen Ailerons / Rudders / Flaps, 2 - Retarded Aerodynamics, 3 - Heat based Thrust, 4 - Massive Radar climb signature, 5 - High noise signature, 6 - High Fuel consumption, 7 - No Searl generator, 8 - High production cost, 9 - High maintenance cost, 10 - Low ergonomics
