Two of the aircraft (A46-305 and A46-306) made their public debut at the Australian International air show, where their arrival formed part of the Chief of Air Force's showcase, including a Super Hornet handling demonstration and flypast from one of the Royal Australian Air Force's (RAAF) C-27J Spartan battlefield airlifters. The Growlers appeared on the opening trade day of Avalon on February 28 and were witnessed by Chief of Air Force, Air Marshal Davies and Australia's Minister for Defence, Senator Marise Payne. One aircraft was towed into the static display and formally welcomed by AM Davies and Senator Payne.
