Big Picture 2

MAGPIE A21-018 conducts an aerial display in Townsville during Exercise Talisman Sabre 21. In celebration of their mascot, the Australian magpie, No. 75 Squadron applied a black and white commemorative paint scheme to F/A-18A Hornet A21-018. The aircraft was scheduled to sport its new colour scheme until retiring, ahead of the squadron’s transition to F-35A Lightning II in 2022. The squadron adopted the magpie as its mascot because it is a belligerent defendant of its young with the courage to attack. No. 75 Squadron operates out of RAAF Tindal in the Northern Territory.
