Do you know if that's a No. 2 OCU bird, or its squadron identity otherwise?? Nice shot, by the way Smile Smile

Thank you southernphantom, that one belongs to the No. 2 Operational Conversion Unit RAAF.
That image was cropped for my facebook cover, but you will be able to see it in full when
I upload the photos within the next day or so.

Great photos Viper. That thing is absolutely bristling with fins. Are those antennae? Does it get broadband internet, ya think?

I tried looking for the FlightGlobal cutaway, but the best I could find was 1600 when the original is 7000. I could barely read the legend.

Glad you liked them. I have more FA-18 Hornet and Hawk 127 shots I will be posting during the next few days when I finish reviewing and editing them.
What really amazed me is how silent the Wedgetail is even when flying on top of you. I was shocked by the quiet approach to landing.

For what it's worth, I tried viewing that image at work and was blocked. I work in secure facility, and it was blacklisted as a security risk. So be careful there. It's a Chinese site.
