During Exercise High Sierra, Australian Air Force personnel and aircraft were deployed to RAAF Base Townsville. The exercise is the final phase of the F-35A Lightning II operation conversion course that aims to graduate the newest generation of fast-jet pilots for the Air Forces 81 Wing.
The culminating course involves taking off and conducting air-to-air refuelling, fighting their way down the airspace, neutralising the enemy aircraft while also avoiding or killing surface-to-air threats.
The exercise is also an excellent opportunity to expose junior aircrew, ground and support personnel to deployed operations, as well as meeting operational conversion requirements and positional upgrades.

Someone did there's a stealth fighter here, but I cannot find it...
