Rank 41 in the Aviation Heroes collection, this print marks the squadron that carried Australia's fighter lineage from Hornet country into fifth generation: No. 75 Squadron at RAAF Base Tindal in the Northern Territory. The unit became the first RAAF fighter squadron permanently based in the Territory since World War II, flew the last F/A-18A Hornet sorties in December 2021, and took delivery of its first F-35A days later — a clean handoff from classic twin-engine air defence to single-engine low-observable multi-role. Tindal sits south of Katherine in Australia's Top End, where Talisman Sabre exercises and northern air-defence training keep 75 Squadron crews busy across some of the harshest ramp heat in the RAAF. Here the Lightning sits in clean stealth configuration: bays closed, kangaroo roundels on the wings, 035 on the fuselage, and that magpie crest collectors recognise from decades of Northern Australia operations.
