Definitely not a Sukhoi Kent ; it's an F15SG.

Oops, not quite up to date on my outdated 1970s metal :P

I think it may have been because the F15 was never seen as a realistic option for RAAF, and I preferred the look of the F16 to the F18 anyway, so completely forgot about the F15

Matt Hall has some interesting observations from someone who has flown both, history might have been different had we not taken the pigs.

Love the PB pics, sure is worth the trip once to Darwin just to catch the action, not sure what the residents think of the noise.
