Same, grew up watching the Orions flying over my house. Was sad when they lost the black/white colour scheme - I miss seeing them, the P8 does not stand out like they did.

nah because when say a ship attack or submarine attack is about to happen, they would most likely go for the southern state, so just in case, the p8 would search around the south, and the p3 Orion used to go around the country everyday, so they don't just go around SA. but i also reckon maybe one every state.

The contrived political correctness is sick making. RAAFs job is to defend Australia from her enemies, not undertake social engineering. I can’t see China paying respect to elders blah blah if the RAAF doesn’t do it’s job.
