If anybody is planning a trip to the Top End around July, there is a 'must see' for any plane freaks. The RAAF is running 'Operation Pitch Black' again this year and I have heard that it will involve approximately 100 aircraft.

In 2000, a lot of us locals would head down to a large parking area at the eastern end of Darwin airport just before dusk to watch the 'attacking force' get airborne and if you get off on power, this is a real spectacle.

I think the French might be participating in this years exercise with the latest Mirage as their showpiece.

It is definitely something to see.
