While not advanced, it is reliable. The crew have ejection seats, but the aircraft is not capable of in- flight refueling.

  • Strikemasters Over Sydney* *OK, Not Really Sydney
    Strikemasters Over Sydney* *OK, not really Sydney. But close enough to Sydney. Bomb a secret airbase hidden in the mountains. Escape enemy fire. Engage in air combat. The missions are a fantasy. The excitement is real. THE BAC STRIKEMASTER The British Aircraft Corporation Strikemaster 167 is a jet fighter/bomber with a top speed of 900 kph. Designed for reliability and safety, the Strikemaster can accelerate from 0 to 600 kph in less than 20 seconds. The jet is powered by a Rolls Royce Viper jet engine producing 3,410 lbs. of thrust. It can climb to 37,000 feet. The Strikemaster has flown in a variety of air forces, including the air forces of Great Britain, Singapore, New Zealand, Kenya and Saudi Arabia. The fighter features side by side seating, allowing for easy communication between you and your pilot during each mission. THE JET FACILITY Flights depart from Bathurst Airport, located approximately three hours by car from Sydney. We will be happy to arrange convenient air transportation from Sydney to Bathurst for you. (Incredible jet fighter maneuvers like those performed in the Strikemaster cannot safely be completed close to a major city.) SAMPLE MISSION PROFILES A variety of flight profiles are available. You tell us what you want to do and we will work with you to make each flight the flight of your dreams. Here are some of the options: • Air Combat Mission Participate in three air combat engagements, learning the dynamics of a flat engagement, then a vertical engage- ment and finally a three dimensional dog fight.

  • Sun Sets on RAF Leuchars
    Sun sets on RAF Leuchars On Saturday 7th September 2013 RAF Leuchars saw its last time hosting the annual air show before its transformation into an army base. Leuchars has hosted the air show for many years but by 2015 it is set to be an army base. The air show started with a spectacular display from the BAC Strikemaster and the BAC Jet Provost. The air show started at 11:00am and finished at 5:30pm. The Battle of Britain Memorial Flight donated the Avro Lancaster, the Supermarine Spitfire and the Hawker Hurricane. The Saab Viggen , Tunnan and 105 from Sweden were also flying. There was a wide range of static displays from the English Electric Lightning to the Cessna sea- plane. There was the sight of the familiar Red Arrows along with two of their predecessors, the red Gnats and one Hawker Hunter. Also flying were the Blades and the RV8tors, two homemade planes. The Wildcats Aerobatics Team also did a display with a Zivko and 2 Pitts S-2 biplanes. It was sadly a windy day so the RAF parachute team, the model aeroplanes and the Black Cats, the RNAS’s helicopter display team could not fly. The only airworthy Consolidated Catalina in the UK was also flying. The most popular aircraft at the air show was the Typhoon with a display team and two Austrian air force types flying. The air show ended with a flyover with the Lancaster, the Spitfire and the Hurricane followed by a flyover by the Panavia Tornado and the Lancaster, commemorating the anniversary of the Dambusters Raid.
