The AAC is out at Oakey, about 30km the other side of Toowoomba. They train a lot of Indonesian crews. There is quite a bit of RAAF activity around too, this last month.
I didn't follow the Osprey once I knew what it was. No doubt there was some "Left hand down a bit" coming up, if they were heading for Oakey.

Would be cool to catch an Osprey...I was in Noosa a few weeks ago and two Super Hornets came screaming over quite low.

Happened to see this pop up in my feed live on the weekend, shot from a boat out off the coast, so caught some of the Osprey action, some ferocious F18/22/35 fly-bys too
Watch on youtube.com
