No 2 OCU conducts final 'classic' Hornet flight

摘要

THE ROYAL Australian Air Force's (RAAF's) No 2 Operational Conversion Unit (OCU) conducted its final F/A-18A/B flight at RAAF Base Williamtown, New South Wales, on December 11. The mission was a milestone in the service's phased drawdown of No 2 OCU 'classic' Hornet operations, which ceased the same month. In future, the unit will conduct fast-jet aircrew training on the F-35A. The last RAAF F/A-18A/Bs are planned to be withdrawn from service in December 2021.
