12/01/2016: The Royal Australian Air Force’s first P-8A Poseidon has arrived to its new home at RAAF Base Edinburgh.
Number 92 Wing will operate Australia’s newest maritime surveillance aircraft, which will support a full range of tasks, including anti-surface and anti-submarine warfare, maritime and overland intelligence surveillance and reconnaissance, electronic support, and a search and rescue capability.
The cutting edge aircraft will dominate the skies around the nation’s coastline, greatly enhancing Australia’s ability to keep our borders secure and guard our maritime approaches.
