No. 36 Squadron RAAF ( | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Hot on the heels of Nick-D's successful nomination for No. 38 Squadron, I present another transport formation whose duties were at times so closely entwined with those of No. 38 that the two squadrons occasionally operated as one. No. 36 Squadron is Australia's heavy airlift unit, operating the biggest asset in the RAAF's inventory, the Boeing C-17 Globemaster III. It was also the first squadron outside the US to fly the venerable Lockheed C-130 Hercules, which it employed for almost 50 years. The "trashies" (trash haulers) may not have a particularly glamorous job, but they do have a vital and, I think, interesting one. Tks to all involved in the recent GA and MilHist A-Class reviews and, in advance, to all those taking part here. Cheers, Ian Rose ( talk) 11:28, 30 September 2013 (UTC) reply

Support -- This article, like much of Ian's work, meets all of the FA criteria and is deserving of the FA status. I've got no objections. -- Sp33dyphil © hat ontributions 05:11, 8 October 2013 (UTC) reply
