F/A-18F A44-210 Bu. 167966 c/n AF-10 was delivered to the RAAF 1 Squadron at Amberley on July 6, 2010. In 2017 this aircraft went to Iraq during Operation Okra, Australia’s support against ISIL. In 2016 the aircraft was painted to celebrate the 100th Anniversary of 1 Squadron and still wore the scheme in 2019. From 1950-1958 the squadron was based in Singapore then returned to Australia and was re-equipped with the English Electric Canberra. The squadron later flew the F-4 Phantom II, F-111 Aardvark and in 2010 the F/A-18 Super Hornet.

The McDonnell Douglas Boeing F/A-18E Super Hornet is a twin-engine multi-role carrier-based aircraft. The “E” variant is single-seater while the “F” variant is a tandem-seat configuration. The E is a much larger, more advanced and more capable variant of the F/A-18C. The Super Hornet variant can carry a larger array of weapons as well as more of them and is capable of returning to the carrier while still carrying unspent munitions. The first flight of the F/A-18E took place in 1995 with delivery to the U.S. Navy starting in 1999.
