The six-nation exercise 'Pitch Black
2012' kicked off in Darwin, Australia on 27 July, with the Royal
Australian Air Force hosting visiting aircraft and personnel from
Indonesia, New Zealand, Singapore, Thailand and the USA.
Among
the equipment on show are four of the Indonesian air force's
great-looking Sukhoi Su-27 and Su-30 fighters, which are making a rare
overseas appearance. We ran one picture of the formation arriving on our
Image of the Day blog today (with two Boeing F/A-18As from the RAAF's
77 Sqn), but here are a couple more for your enjoyment (images courtesy
of the Commonwealth of Australia).
The
single-seat Su-27s deployed are aircraft TS-2703 and -2705, with the
twin-seat Su-30s being TS-3004 and -3005, if you like to know that kind
of thing. Indonesia flies five of each type.
