RAAF - All dates are for RAAF operations. F/A-18B Hornet - not in DB at all, could be added to several countries, 1985-current King Air 350 - Is not in DB at all, could be added to Civilian and Commercial, 2009-current Pilatus PC-9A - Is not in DB at all, could be added to several other countries, 1987-current CT/4 Airtrainer - Is not in DB at all, 1973-current Challenger CL-604 - Is not in DB at all, could be added to Commercial also, 2002-2014 737 BBJ - Is not in DB but several other 737 variants are. Is actually a 737-700. Closest in DB is 737-700ER, 2002-2014 AN/TPS-77 - I note that the AN/TPS-70 is incorrectly listed under the Australian Air Force in the DB3K, it is actually the AN/TPS-77 which is operated by 3CRU and 114MCRU, 2005-current De Havilland DHC-4 Caribou - Is not in the DB at all, 1963-2009 C-130H - This is in the DB, just not for Australia, 1978-2012 C-130E - Also not in Australia in the DB, 1966-2000 C-130A - Also not in Australia in the DB, 1958-1978 C-17 - This is actually in the DB and in Australias category, too. I just wanted to note that IOC was reached in september 2007 rather than in 08. Boeing 707 - VIP transport and tanker variants operated by 33SQN, 1981-2008 Id like to note that the Aussie Hornets in the DB currently require AIM-120-C5s in their loadouts. Id like to point out that we acquired AIM-120-C7s in 2011, and AIM-120Bs in 1998, but am aware of no sales of AMRAAMs in the intervening years. Id like to suggest a solution to loadouts which allows individual weapons to be set, on a per hardpoint and possibly per launcher basis, rather than a per loadout basis. Id like to cite the PACAF approved SCLs as one such reason, given the extreme number of different loadouts. RAN Ive noted quite a few pennants missing in the Aussie DB too, so Ill list some of them here for you. 73 Collins - SSG 73 Collins [Collins Class] 75 Waller - SSG 75 Waller [Collins Class] 01 Adelaide [Perry] - FFG 01 Adelaide [Perry Class] 150 Anzac - FFH 150 Anzac [Anzac Class] Id like to request the addition of O 266 Sirius, a replenishment ship. I should also note that the Paluma Class vessels of the Royal Australian Navy are conspicuously absent, along with their Leeuwin Class cousins. Singapore PC-21 My appreciation is extended in anticipation of these eventual updates.
