An aircraft unlike any other on this list - the Bell Iroquois UH-1 “Huey”. 🚁 As the first helicopter to be powered by a jet turbine engine the Huey was a game changer, enabling close support to ground forces as well as search and rescue and medevac operations during the Vietnam War. #DYK when this aircraft entered service in the US Army in 1961 it was known as the

Countdown time! ✈️🤩 At Number 9 in our weekly countdown of the most iconic #AusAirForce aircraft is the one that helped start it all, the S.E.5A. Never heard of it?

One week left to our Centenary - and one more iconic aircraft! 🔥✈️ At NUMBER ONE in the countdown of our most iconic aircraft of the last 100 years, it’s the one you’ve all been waiting for: the General Dynamics F-111C. Arriving in Australia in 1973, the ‘Pig’ was the fastest aircraft we have ever operated. Its innovated swing-wing design allowed it to fly at a top speed of Mach 2.5, or two and a half times the speed of sound. A favourite at air displays for decades until its retirement in 2010
