80 years ago, #Australia flew the #Boomerang! Be proud 🇦🇺! We've built our own Sovereign airplanes before, and we can do it again, leading the #uncrewed world.
Great to see these still flying at @TemoraAviation on open days.
Ta @BoeingAustralia.

#OTD in 1942, Australia's first locally produced frontline fighter, the Boomerang, made its first flight. Boeing heritage company Commonwealth Aircraft Corp. developed the aircraft in just 14 weeks. #AirForce100

This image takes pride of place in the boardroom (aptly named ‘Boomerang’) of our Fishermans Bend facility. It serves as a reminder of Australia’s rich heritage in sovereign aerospace design and manufacture, and inspires us everyday to meet the ADF SICP challenge.
