A flash of lightning, a moment of awe! ⚡ A #AusAirForce P-8A Poseidon aircraft returns to Clark Airbase following a Maritime Cooperative Activity (MCA) off the coast of Northern Luzon within the Philippines’ Exclusive Economic Zone. The activity included Royal Australian Navy, Royal New Zealand Navy, Philippine Navy, Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force and United States Navy. The MCA demonstrates a shared commitment to promoting and strengthening regional and international cooperation in support of a peaceful, stable and prosperous Indo-Pacific, and uphold the right to freedom of navigation and overflight in accordance with international law, particularly the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea. 📸 | LSIS Susan Mossop

About us
The Royal Australian Air Force is a world-class military force operating some of the most advanced aircraft and defence technology in use anywhere today. We may be the second oldest Air Force in the world, but we sure look young for our age! Since our formation in 1921 we have set a proud record protecting Australia alongside the Royal Australian Navy and Australian Army. This tradition continues today. Each day, our personnel deliver Australian air power, whenever and wherever, it is needed. Built on the proud history and traditions of the Australian Flying Corps and the Royal Australian Air Force, we will fight and win by generating integrated kinetic and non-kinetic air and space effects across the sea, land, air, space and cyber operating domains. Air Force provides immediate and responsive military options across the spectrum of operations as part of a Whole of Government joint or coalition response. We exploit the air power characteristics of persistent and precision effect, flexibility, perspective, reach, penetration, versatility and responsiveness. We are leaders in command and control of air and space operations; intelligence, surveillance and response; and targeting. We are the leaders for strategic, operational, tactical, technical and logistic management of Australia's military aviation capability.

You never know where an F-35A Lightning II might pop up! Air Force aviators from Numbers 3 and 25 Squadron dropped into airfields in the north-west of West Australia to work with industry to improve our ability to deliver air power when and where required. Leveraging off civil minerals and resources infrastructure such as remote airfields furthers the future projection of air power for Australia. Thanks to Roy Hill and Fortescue industries.

Celebrating the remarkable career of Squadron Leader Stephen Bihary! 🙌✈ After 48 years of flying Stephen is retiring from the cockpit as the longest-serving RAAF fighter pilot and fast jet instructor. Licensed to fly a plane before he could legally drive a car, he shares his story of balancing a civilian and military aviation career, going on to fly 8,140 military hours and provide introductory fighter flying training to the past two Chiefs of Air Force and countless other students. Stephen has certainly left a lasting legacy as an instructor, pilot and family man – read his story here ➡️ https://lnkd.in/gEC-CRZA #AusAirForce #YourADF
