More than 275 aviators, eight F-35As, a KC-30A Multi-Role Tanker Transport and an E-7A Wedgetail Airborne Early Warning and Control aircraft have been deployed by the RAAF to Andersen Air Force Base from February 3 to 21.
The aircraft, to be based in Broome, will support PHI’s offshore energy transportation activities, as well as search and rescue and medevac operations. The company has three Australian bases in Broome, Exmouth and Darwin.
Virgin Australia captain Deborah Lawrie earned her position in the cockpit by taking legal action in 1979 against Ansett, which had refused to employ female pilots.
