What You Will Fly

The Australian Defence Force operates a range of aircraft, including:

  • The E-7A Wedgetail Airborne Early Warning and Control aircraft: this converted Boeing 737 aircraft with advanced radar capabilities is Air Force's 'eyes in the sky' with a command and control capability.
  • The P-8A Poseidon: this converted Boeing 737 aircraft performs a variety of missions including anti-surface strike, anti-submarine warfare and search and rescue. Another key role for the Poseidon is to undertake maritime Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance missions.

  • The C-130J Hercules: medium-sized tactical airlifter which can deliver cargo to airfields with short unsurfaced runways, and airdrop cargo and paratroopers by parachute.
  • The C-27J Spartan: bridges the gap between Army helicopters, such as the CH-47F Chinook, and larger Air Force aircraft, such as the C-130J Hercules and C-17A Globemaster III.
