This astonishing image shows a RAAF Growler, operated by No. 6 Squadron, flying over the mountains of the Alaska Range as part of Exercise Northern Edge 23. The aircraft is a variant of the Super Hornet but carries technology that allows it to shut down enemy defences electronically. Australia has 12 and is the only air force outside of the US to own any. (Defence, LAC Brandon Murray)
