1 day ago


Canberra, ACT, Australia Australian Defence Force Full time

As a Senior Fast Jet Aviator with the Australian Defence Force, you will embark on an exciting career path that combines rigorous training with cutting-edge technology.

Upon completing Initial Officer Training, you will begin your Basic Pilot Course at No 1 Flying Training School on the Pilatus PC-21 at RAAF Base East Sale. Subsequent training will take place at No 2 Flying Training School at RAAF Base Pearce near Perth.

If selected for Fast Jet Pilot training during your initial course, you will undergo introduction to fighter training on the Hawk 127 aircraft with No 79 Squadron at RAAF Base Pearce and later with No 76 Squadron at RAAF Base Williamtown near Newcastle.

The Air Force operates three types of fast jets: F-35A Lightning II, F/A-18F Super Hornet, and EA-18G Growler Electronic Attack. Your assigned fast jet will depend on your preference, performance during training, and position availability.

F-35A Lightning II: This single-seat, high-performance stealth fighter employs state-of-the-art weapons and serves as a communications node providing battlespace information to friendly forces. F-35A pilot training takes place at No 2 Operational Conversion Unit at RAAF Base Williamtown.

F/A-18F Super Hornet: You will team up with your Weapons System Officer to conduct various combat-related missions, including air-to-air combat and air-to-surface weapons employment.

EA-18G Growler: Similar to the Super Hornet, you will work with your Weapons System Officer using advanced technology in this electronic attack aircraft to disrupt, deceive, or deny military electronic systems.
