$6 Billion To Maintain Australia’s Regional Air Superiority
Australia will buy 24 F/A-18F Block II Super Hornets for A$6 billion. The jets will fill a gap to be left by the expected 2010 retirement of the F-111.
Australian personnel will begin Super Hornet training in the United States in 2009 and will be based at RAAF Base Amberley.
