F/A-18s come home from Iraq!

[Jan]

"Australia's 14 F/A-18s flew into their home base of Tindal in the Northern Territory last night, ending a four-month tour of duty during which they became the first Australian bombers to see combat since Vietnam.

Today the fighter-bombers staged a spectacular fly-over at Tindal as remaining members of the RAAF squadron touched down aboard a Qantas Boeing 767 for an emotional reunion with their families.

Around 250 men and women were welcomed home in today's ceremony - the first of many expected over the coming weeks and months as Australia's 2000-strong contingent returns from the war."

I reckon Australia's best line of defence is our drop bears and vegemite sanga's.... we never use our army/navy/air force for any reason any way...

i hate vegemite.. literally tastes like sh!t.. not that i've ever tasted sh!t before...
