Our latest graduating F-35A Lightning II pilots and No. 2 Operational Conversion Unit have returned to Williamtown following the completion of Exercise High Sierra 23-1. With more than 160 aviators and 19 aircraft deployed to RAAF Base Townsville. Exercise High Sierra presented an opportunity for the F-35A Lightning II pilots to integrate with #AusAirForce aviators from No. 2 Squadron on the E-7A Wedgetail, No. 76 Squadron Hawk 127 Lead-In Fighter aircraft playing the adversary, No. 33 Squadron operating the KC-30A air-to-air refuelling aircraft and No. 27 Squadron providing ground refuelling support. The final component of the F-35A Lightning II Operational Conversion Course, graduating fast jet pilots develop the skills on this exercise to further enable the delivery of integrated air power effects, as part of a joint force.
