Our chopper pilot out at sea again

Reporter: Tony Lawler

You might recall that Tony sent an article about his son Ben flying ARH Tigers off the HMAS Canberra.  Here is the latest update on the exercises with Japan and the US​.  Over the past week Australia, Japan and the US have been conducting a trilateral passage in the Philippine Sea on the way to participate in Exercise Rim of the Pacific (RIMPAC) in Hawaii. An Australian Defence Force (ADF) Joint Task Group has joined the USS Ronald Reagan Carrier Strike Group, which includes the United States Navy’s guided-missile cruiser USS Antietam and guided-missile destroyer USS Mustin and the Japanese Maritime Self-Defense Force’s Akizuki-class destroyer JS Teruzuki.
Here are some impressive photos
