Exercise Puk Puk

Training in PNG Airspace

Recently, as part of Exercise Global Dexterity, two C-17A Globemaster III aircraft from the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) and United States Air Force (USAF) conducted low-level flying over PNG.

The exercise also involved the RAAF using the C-17A to deliver engineering equipment to Manus Province in preparation for construction activities during Exercise PUK PUK later this year.

The C-17A is a versatile aircraft that both Australia and the United States use to deliver critical supplies throughout the Indo-Pacific region, often on short notice.
