A Royal Australian Air Force KC-30A Multi Role Tanker Transport (MRTT) aircraft has conducted the longest non-stop flight in RAAF history on transit to an exercise in France. The KC-30A flew from RAAF Base Amberley to Jerez, Spain, in 23.3 hours, with two refuelling brackets supplied from a second RAAF KC-30A. As part of a week-long interoperability exercise with French Air and Space Force’s (FASF) 31 Aeronautical Technical Support Squadron, RAAF’s 33 Squadron travelled to Istres, France, to participate in air-to-air refuelling and maintenance exchange activities. Enhancing interoperability between the two nations on the return journey to RAAF Base Amberley, the RAAF KC-30A was refuelled by both a RAAF KC-30A and an FASF Multi-Role Tanker Transport. 33 Squadron aviation technician Corporal Anthony Everitt said the exchange was a valuable experience. “RAAF 33 Squadron maintenance, logistics and quality specialists worked alongside their French counterparts to understand each other’s processes, share lessons learnt, and build the friendship initially started during Pitch Black 2024 earlier in the year,” Corporal Everitt said. “We operate under a similar regulatory structure, which makes understanding the training and authorisation of each other’s maintenance procedures much easier. “Once the process is fully developed, it will be great to see our respective maintenance staff working with each other all over the world.”

AERALIS was once again in attendance at the Military Flight Training (MFT) conference, held this week at the Millennium Gloucester Hotel, Kensington. The three-day training conference is a crucial forum for military flight training stakeholders from across the globe to come together. The relevance of this year’s event was perhaps more acute than ever, as the event organisers summarised so well: “With airspace becoming increasingly contested, near-peer competitors’ training capability is advancing at an unprecedented rate. In the current dynamic and unpredictable security environment, air forces must work together to maximise the proficiency and readiness of military aircrew for the future fight.” AERALIS Head of Sales Programme, David Townsend, commented: “The MFT conference had the largest turnout yet of over 350 attendees, this demonstrates how critical military flying training is on the global agenda and enabled us to have quality conversations with many international customers and industry professionals. As the sole programme of its kind, and with the current global lack of fast jet training, AERALIS’s mission is to spearhead a world-leading training capability for an FCAS-enabled future, with our industry partners and of course, the RAF. MFT was encouraging in its focus on transformation in training and procurement – areas that the AERALIS reconfigurable air system proposition addresses directly as we recognise the nation’s challenge of generating sufficient flying training instructors and the need to plan the training solution for 6th generation aircraft.” #MilitaryFlyingTraining #AERALIS #Defence
