Tindal Open Day
15 August 2004
RAAF Base Tindal operates F/A-18 Hornets so they
are a common sight in the skies above Katherine. The pilots of
No. 75 Squadron fly the Hornets. The base was established in 1984
and the families at Tindal comprise about 25% of Katherine's 10,000-odd
population.
Apart from seeing the planes in action, we also
saw Australia's Federation Guard Precision Drill Display and the
Military Working Dog Display. All three services - army, air force
& navy - took part in the Precision Drill and three military
dogs strutted their stuff.
