Nice... Bazzar's shot had 4 more bringing up the rear?
How many were new ones?

Edit: Oh, and well done, beating the Welsh out for Bronze in the Rugby World Cup!

I think it was more of a publicity exercise than anything else....but passed over a local car racing event also. This flight continued on a little further north and were joined by 4 new super hornets making 20 altogether. This flight then carried on along the coast heading south before passing over Brisbane city and back to Amberley RAAF base west of Brisbane.

That's the most F/A-18's I've ever seen in a formation flight. Nice job!

This was a celebration of the last deliveries of the 24 F/A-18's ordered by the RAAF. The last four are brand new. They were delivered early and under budget and the Aussie's are very happy with them.
