High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! No. 78 Wing is the Royal Australian Air Force's operational training wing. It is headquartered at RAAF Base Williamtown, New South Wales, and operates the BAE Hawk 127 lead-in fighter. The wing was formed late in 1943 and flew P-40 Kittyhawk fighters in the South West Pacific theatre of World War II. During the early 1950s, it was based in Malta on garrison duties with the Royal Air Force, operating De Havilland Vampire jet fighters. Re-equipped with CAC Sabres, it deployed to Malaya in 1958, flying sorties against communist insurgents in the final years of the Emergency. In the 1960s, it provided regional air defence during the Indonesia-Malaysia confrontation, and supplied the equipment and personnel for the RAAF contingent operating from Ubon Air Base in Thailand. No. 78 Wing was disbanded in 1967, but re-formed as an operational training wing in 2000. Данное издание представляет собой компиляцию сведений, находящихся в свободном доступе...
