Reminds me of an overhead gun/section attack practice we were doing in Wide Bay we had to abandon that practice and had a lightning strike hit our hill where we had the SFMG set up as we were driving off it.

Are those dummies mounted on robotic segways? Man that's freaking awesome!

Smith and Gillard strike again.

There have been 3 C-17 and 4 C-130J flights carrying Asylum seekers back to Columbo this year alone. And guess which government just cut all the airframe hours on those planes...

And guess which government bought the C-17s and C-130Js

There's no direct Australia to Sri Lanka flight yet. Sending pissed-off rejected Tamils back to their country on commercial flights would be a logistical and security risk.

No worries get some other bastard to pay for it though.

Great Photos everyone!

I might be entirely wrong so more than happy to be corrected but I would of thought in a way they would be at even higher risk being indigenous to the area where the bad guys are

grendelThere's no direct Australia to Sri Lanka flight yet. Sending pissed-off rejected Tamils back to their country on commercial flights would be a logistical and security risk.

Prior to 2004 failed asylum seekers were sent back on chartered Strategic Airlines flights and after 2004 were sent on regular passenger flights through Singapore.
