A F/A-18A taxies out for departure on Williamtown's runway 12 during an airshow. In the background is a Qantas 767-238, VH-EAM, on static display. The hornet from No 3 Squadron has a special painted nose art depicting a snake. This was because at that time 3 Sqn used snake names in their squadron callsigns.
