Ryan, Surveillance Aircraft Pilot

Accept the challenge and take control of some of the fastest jets in the skies, carrying out adrenaline-fuelled combat and stealth missions. Or specialise in fixed-wing aircraft and fly covert surveillance missions or transport troops and supplies.

Because the Wedgetail is a multi-crewed environment, there’s a large emphasis on teamwork, which when we’re working together is fantastic. It means we're more efficient and when we're on the ground, it's also a great way of having a support network and friends to catch up together and spend time together.
