RAAF Base Amberley
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 12 ส.ค. 2024
- RAAF Base Amberley is located in south east Queensland just 8 kilometres from the city of Ipswich. The land on which RAAF Base Amberley stands was acquired by the government on 12 December 1938 from a farmer from Sussex, England who named it after his home town. RAAF Base Amberley is located in the Parish of Jeebropilly which is an indigenous name which appropriately translates as ‘land of the flying squirrel’.
RAAF Base Amberley commenced operations on 17 June 1940 with its initial role being a centre for flying training and recruiting. This changed after the United States joined the war in the Pacific in December 1941 with Amberley becoming home to the United States Army Air Forces (USAAF) in Australia.

The F1 11's are one of my favourite aircraft ever. I remember when they flew over river fire here in Brisbane. The sound of the after burners were great
The RAAF has been uploading a lot lately, I love it!
Mostly because it's the 100th year of the RAAF.
@@cliffhigson7581 and maybe because of tensions with china
@@rohan6502 maybe not so much this reason, more the fact it’s their 100th I’d say
Hı
I'm so excited to join the Air Force when I'm older
Join Air Force Cadets, you can go to that Airbase.
I miss the Pigs, used to love going out there and watching them fly.
My old teachers dad used to be a F-111 pilot, and apparently quite a good one. He had been the other aircraft in the air when that one F-111 had to do an emergency belly landing for the first time. Otherwise, cheers to our airforce, will be joining super soon!
Ahhh, the F1 11s. Loved that aircraft, had a classic profile and silhouette. I wish RAF Amberley would host another airshow. I streamed RIAT this year, was amazing. Thanks for sharing RAF base profile.
I live in Springfield, I get to see the A330's going to the northern airspace for exercise. Sadly, the 'Amberley Airbase' stops a few meters from my home... I've seen Ea18g, c17, A330, 737 and even fa18s doing exercises
Good Job ADF . It's comforting to know we are beefing up our north it's been needed for a while now especially in the current political climate and foreign powers maneuvering in the seas to our north.
P.s : I loved our Caribou and F111s.
Great to see them in this vid. 😉
Thank u mate and just love our team
Very interesting document... beautiful machines. Great respect #RAAF 🇦🇺🕊️
i live in aspley, and even though it is not close to Amberley i still hear and see F18s, c17s and Kc30s fly over, i also go to school at Marist Collage Ashgrove, which is right next to the Enoggera army barracks, f18s and c17s flyover all the time and i always get to hear and see them, one time last year there were 3 different chinooks that kept landing and taking off from the barracks, it would go so so low over the school, it was the first time ive ever seen the chinook, and crist it was loud. thank you RAAF for your service.
Yeah I live in an area near by. One time I went to Yamamoto there were two super hornets flying over
Live at Aspley too the f-18s are LOUD
@@m4a1memer14 oh cool. I have also been noticing f35's going over, when the are over head they kind of sound a bit like KC-30s but when they get further away they rally get that fighter jet roar like growlers
@@TomDuffy-Productions yeah same I saw a kc-30A flying over VERY low
@@m4a1memer14 just wondering, how long ago was that
Lived there in the early 70's. Saw the Phantoms leave and the F111's arrive. Even had my first job there as Xmas relief postie. My Dad was the ADMINSO and his secretary was in the first Chinook that crashed - she was sorry she asked for a ride in it.
I once visited Amberley Airbase and watched the F/A18F Super Hornets take off. It was really cool.
Thank you all for your service to our beautiful nation.
Cool vid... not everyone knows that 2 F111's have crashed here in NZ with no loss of life👍✈️🇳🇿
I remember attending the General Service Training at RAAF Amberley while I was in the Air Force Cadets. By far one of the most amazing and awesome places I have ever been to. Determined to join as a pilot in a few years once I've completed my university degree!
What year did you age out in and what are you studying in university?
@@jasontebbit6369 2015 and currently I'm studying computer science while also learning to fly for my Recreational Pilot's License. I could have stayed a lot longer in the Cadets before entering University, but had to focus on my final years of high school while also moving houses.
@@timothyflint7155 Yeah I joined back in 2016 and it’s my last year now. Done a lot of GST’s. Also if I may ask, what squadron were you with?
@@jasontebbit6369 That's awesome! For squadrons I was with 217SQN (Redlands). Only got as far as Leading Cadet but almost went on to Cadet Corporal training before leaving the cadets.
@@timothyflint7155 That’s awesome as-well. I’m with 208 SQN and I’m currently a Corporal right now. Have been since 2020, and I’m teaching survival at the squadron. It is so fun doing lessons. Hey did you ever get a chance to do teaching at your squadron?
My dad worked there. He was awarded an image of a f1-11 landing with no wings
That day was my first day at that base. I still remember the event. It was crazy
@@JC-zt1zu yeah luckily the pilot survived the landing.
@@izacksinclairbjj it was an impressive thing to watch
@@JC-zt1zu there is no denying that
@@izacksinclairbjj I wonder if I knew your dad. I worked in SECPOL so we didn't interact with many other musterings
It was a nice video
My uncle flew the Canberra bomber from Amberley
There with HQLC/TC 1994 Big then must be awesome now stay safe
Why can't I get the TH-cam link for Billsville AKA Williamtown???
For Australias remoteness and size they really need a new medium Bomber. The Super Hornet just won’t cut it in my humble opinion. It just doesn’t have the range or payload.
Or I hope they are working on a medium heavy drone for the RAAF and Allies….something to think about.
I went out there the other day. It's certainly changed since I was posted to 382ECSS in 2008
Was there ever a statement released on why old mates banged out of the Super last year?
2:40, calls the EA-18G an FA-18F Super hornet. Who checked this?
this gives me tingles anyone else?
Wish I went in when I left school
Great AFB
Went there today
Hope they buy a lot more of the latest block 3 superhornet we need them for anti shipping and heavy ground attack
F-15EX would be a better choice for a ground attack aircraft.
Against who? There will be no stopping China regardless.
@@achiruel True I don't think the gov will buy it,to much red tape in making a decision.The block 3 Super Hornet has a long range infa red track & search.Which can detect stealth aircraft from heat at very long range.US navy is buying it.
@@CathodeRayNipplez not really,we should have unstoppable hypersonic missiles soon.Which need to carried be on the Superhornet.Block 3 Superhornet with the powerful new infa red track will kick ass
@@stevethomas7273 There's no way we could ever stockpile enough of them 🤣 (and being a bit of a brokeass country paying for them might be a bit of an issue)
I know a Canberra which needs a canopy and a lick of paint......
QUEEENSLAAANNDERRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!
Len Waters Memorial: The Lensing of Historical Perspectives.
There's a park adjacent to where I live in Inala, Brisbane; And, there is a memorial to an Indigenous Australian named, Mr Len Waters. He is credited with piloting a version of the Kitty Hawk during World War 2. It's rather contentious whether or not Mr Waters actually served with the Australian contingent of the RAF in World War 2 because Indigenous Peoples of the 1940's had a very low rate of literacy. My Father recalled how He watched Indigenous Tribal People walking out of the bush nude when He was a child. So how could Mr Waters be able to read in the 1940's when He came from a small community in a remote area of New South Wales? There are some very real questions about the aptitude of Mr Waters at that point in history. However, I recognize that nothing will change for Indigenous Australians unless we agree to manufacture a history of westernized intelligence for their communities so that they may try to be all they can be.
My Uncle actually served in Australian contingent of RAF for the Halifax bombing runs in World War 2. Conversely, I really can't imagine how someone such as, Mr Len Waters, could navigate a flight course in a plane and not even know how to read(?) I really think that matter should be investigated by the RAF historians. I think it may clear up a few questions for the biographical memories of ADF Servicemen attached to RAF who had performed the bombing runs on Dresden. It's not about casting Indigenous People in a bad light. It's really about letting the families of those who really did serve a reason for the anomaly I described. They may be less bitter as a consequence. The solution may be entirely reasonable. There's no need to run away:)
Discuss:)
Did you guys buy b2 bombers
Very good comment
Aussie Aussie Aussie
👏🏻♥️🙏🇦🇺
ABC endorsed!
Can we pay our respect to our British and European settlers and pioneers too please? ❤️
Did they have their land stolen from them? No! Absolutely no comparison.
No thanks
You like trolling these videos don’t you
Troll. Out of touch, and the replies prove it.
This guy has gone on every base video the Air Force has dropped and delivered the same childish message. Jog on champ
i got a stupid questions, why dont you people have bombers anymore, after the f111`s retirement, australia cant strike targets from afare, i think we should get something like the future b21 or a loyal wingman with a large bomb bay
What all the crap about custodians and elders. What a lot of woke nonsense. It's the land of all Australians.
Mate the T20 team takes a knee before playing a game now. The airforce is scheduled to start that soon too before going on a mission.
@@robman2095 they just couldn't be that stupid.
@@Abcdefg-xl8te No I hope not, but we can almost believe it these days 😂
Stop acknowledging fake traditional non owners
Unfortunately china will wipe us out in 10hrs. And yes typical pathetic ADF starts video off by saying we must respect Aboriginals that did mostly nothing for modern Australia...It was convicts and free settlers that laid the foundations. I always pay respect to them.
They always have to do the 'box ticking' paying respects and acknowledging traditional owners. It's the politically correct thing to do now. Means absolutely nothing. Just giving Aboriginals condescending 'lip service'.
so.. with all those heavy lift cargo planes, why aren't we using them to bring stranded Aussie's home? Do it Saigon style
Because that would mean the federal government has to take responsibility
There is/was no shortage of planes. There was a limit to quarantine places.
So I'm guessing this video is dedicated to Indigenous Australians who fought in Australia's wars and others are not worth mentioning. I'll pass on this one.
I odam. 111
Yes the media are even woke in the airforce
I’m curious as to what the narrators first language is, because it sure as fuck ‘ain’t English!
Wow AF video 1st thing I see is nothing to do with the RAAF, how about you keep your vids military.......
It should be closed down and all personnel and aircraft relocated to Townsville. Why have a base in such a garbage location? Townsville is closer to where the regional instability will occur in future and Amberley is too far south. It is pathetic that no aircraft are permanently based at Townsville anymore.
Sorry Ricky, we need all RAAF bases away from surprise attack by any nation stupid enough to have a go. What we also need is an anti ballistic missile defence as our "wonderful" nation, the bully, has too many long range vehicles at this time.
The only city worth protecting is Sydney....get real. That's why Williamtown is where it's at.
@@AUmarcus true let’s be honest
@@AUmarcus yeah, that explains why would Growlers and Super Hornets are all based in Queensland, right dipshit?
@@achiruel
Yep, all 12 of them while Williamtown will have 70 plus F35's "dipshit".
What's the point in having an airforce if we can't even build our own fighter jets from the ground up designed by Australian's ?
Might have to call RAAF IKEA as they buy everything in a box and assemble it themselves . How embarrassing .
As Australians we have invested massive amounts of money towards RAAF only for them to purchase every fighter jets and trainer aircraft from overseas .. if we keep doing that we will be 50 years behind in tech !!!
I feel like RAAF ain't passionate because if they were they would have the passion to build from the ground up instead of buying off the shelf from overseas .
We made our classic hornets
We r literally developing unmanned aircraft as we speak and seeing as we have manning issues with our fighter jets, developing and buying 200 unmanned aircraft seems like the best option
@@Bbouy1HD No offence when I say This but we have Manning issues because everyone is sick of RAAF and the disgrace it has become , it's full of corruption and they get massive kick backs from the Americans when they purchase American equipment..
Look back at ww2 when we we're building our own equipment we never had Manning issues then and everyone has Pride ,
RAAF have been selling Australia out for a very long time , we have to many idiots within RAAF , if RAAF wanna buy American equipment I'll never support them ( F**K them )!
Public opinion of RAAF is at an all time low ,
Thank you for coming to Vanuatu to assist with the snap election 😁
My old teachers dad used to be a F-111 pilot, and apparently quite a good one. He had been the other aircraft in the air when that one F-111 had to do an emergency belly landing for the first time. Otherwise, cheers to our airforce, will be joining super soon!
