Wonderful seeing so many top guns, and so many beautiful aircraft from all over the world coming together in the cause of freedom. It is also fabulous seeing increasing numbers of women amongst the men in service of their countries. We all grow stronger by working together as friends and allies, and learning how to cooperate in the skies as a team. And a big shout out to all the dedicated ground crew who work so hard to keep those birds in the air. Australia welcomes every one of you, and thanks you for your service.

Awesome.. Especially the F 35's . Wonder when we get to see our Sukhoi Su 30 MKI 's .. As an Indian it's always our favourite sight to watch the backbone of our Air Force ( 270 of them we fly in the IAF ) in action especially as most of the Fighters here will necessarily be from the western world's inventory. Always a sight for us to marvel at.. Thank you Royal Australian Airforce for hosting us at Pitch Black 24.

Saab J-39 Gripen quite a unique style attending this event, they also have very unique throttle stick too.

Thank you for sharing this video with all of us. The details of the aircraft around the airfield are top notch. Seeing them flying in looks just as impressive. Do you reckon we can see the Singaporean F-15SG Fighter Jets, the German Eurofighter Typhoon and the EA-18G Growlers next, if that's OK? Thank you. We like this video. Keep up the good work.
