Mike Warzinski, Royal Australian Air Force No. 33 Squadron KC-30A Multi-role Tanker Transport pilots, serve as exchange officers at RAAF Base Amberley, Australia, as part of the U.S. Air Force military personnel exchange program.

I was fortunate enough to get an Exchange slot to Australia back in the mid 70's in helo's. Most incredible experience of my Air Force career. Back then the assignment was for only 2 years....which went by way too fast. I loved everything about the country and the people.....except for the vegimite.
Glad to have you and your buddies here enjoy
Welcome to Australia guys. I hope you’re time here is a highlight for you and your families.
As an aussie in Vietnam for 18 years now... you and the kids will love it post covid....
Thank you to our American allies - from Australia.
FUCK AMERICA
@@ANZACS100 Goose.
We love our American brothers and sisters - a relationship we truly value. 😃👏👏👏❤️
Here here!
Amen!!
FUCK AMERICA
@@ANZACS100 USA won't likely even exist as a UNITED states in perhaps 5 years. Failing empire of evil, and we just blindly follow along like lapdogs.
@@fn3048 You are one ignorant idiot. They'll be around for a long time yet, and not because I think so, but because they've got the weapons, whether it be in the military or on the ground at home. You'll be gone before them
Good on ya Brother, I loved working with my USA Brothers and Sisters in Arm’s 👍🏻🇦🇺
FUCK AMERICA
@@ANZACS100 Moron.
Welcome to Australia
Interesting guy.
Now for the air force with the arrival of drones, the heavies remain and the fighters disappear. One heavy could launch a squadron of hypersonic drones to create controlled airspace for 1,000km around the drone carrier. So heavies the right future career choice.
Real interesting to see him wearing... what must be an Aussie flight suited
Welcome to our amazing country.. hope we can keep you and your family here longer hehe... enjoy your time here.
FUCK AMERICA
sus when the snakes and spiders turn up :_(

Served with the USA Army In Darwin and loved you guys. Thanks for your service, from an Aussie digger. Edit; just noticed did the first guy (Mark) get punked and had his head and face covered in nair?
FUCK AMERICA
KC-10s...poor boys. Now they get to fly modern aircraft. Lol.
Welcome to AUSTRALIA, becareful of the snakes here, treat them all as deadly,
BS! Its the Drop Bears you have to beware.
Rabbits and mice actually do the most damage here in australia
dont say that, we will have no tourist, just tell them not to piss off them or they`ll beat them up for dinner, no country can be aussies/us, only emus
You're lil boys accent in Kansas will hold up I hope. G'day mate. Tell him to be proud of it.
Welcome friend.
Cool, we have the US to help out, and God help someone trying to invade - our first line of defense are our animals - sharks, crocs, spiders, snakes
The first line of defence is to not follow the US blindly.
@@ianmontgomery7534 Perfect reply. Sadly, our politicians blindly lead us down the road to ruination following the now defunct and failing USA.
God help us all.
@@fn3048 New Zealand is taking refugees, you will like it.
Mark-Complexities,T6 to heavies because it's more casual, KC-10, C47 grandad. Mike- the best part of being a heavy pilot is travelling, not so much the flying itself. Training and operations are good? Shane is dragging fighters somewhere, and says that compared to USAF it's harder to get things.
I was here to find out what the differences were between the same role in two different AFs according to the obvious strategic differences. Hmmm
What is that ramble supposed to enlighten us about?
FUCK AMERICA
Enjoy Brisvegas.
If that first great guy transitioned to the KC-46 from the KC-30 I just bet he thought 'What the hell did we do here?'
The A330 MRTT (KC-30) was the aircraft that won the USAF competition but the politicians made them have the Boeing KC-46 and its been a disaster.
first
Speaks well, for a military guy
@Jamie B Its the truth, Buddy, no offence meant
"Aircrafts" 🤣
What’s he flying a tiger moth
Wish they would go home.
or you to defect
Imagine him flying our heaps of shit compared to what the USA have.
Our tankers are basically modified brand new Airbus A330s, more/just as modern as what they have.
Yeah ok. I guess a military 707 is just so ahead of a modern airliner conversion then.
@@DansModelBench The USAF actually wanted and ordered the Airbus KC-30 as a replacement for its old KC-135 (707s). But politics got in the way Boeing protested and they decided to buy American. The new KC-46 (based on a 767] has just entered service with the USAF.
Airbus are older than 707's?
@@AndyViant Are you being sarcastic. 707s were designed in the early 50s.
