Celebrating the 77th Anniversary of No. 77 Squadron at RAAF Williamtown

The RAAF’s No.77 Squadron conducted a flypast over RAAF Base Williamtown on July 5, 2019 in a ‘double seven’ formation to mark the unit’s 77 years of operations. The flypast took the 16 F/A-18A Hornets over RAAF Williamtown and well as the Lower Hunter and Port Stephens Council regions. The activities played an important role in acknowledging the unit’s proud history.

Commanding Officer 77 Squadron Wing Commander Jason Easthope said the “77SQN is a front-line operational fighter squadron that has supported campaigns in the South Pacific, Korea, Malaysia and most recently in Iraq,” The ‘double seven’ formation was also flown in 1955 using the Gloster Meteor aircraft when the Squadron conducted a return-to-Australia tour at the end of the Korean War.
