  • No. 82 Wing is the strike and reconnaissance wing of the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF). It is headquartered at RAAF Base Amberley, Queensland. Coming under the control of Air Combat Group, the wing operates F/A-18F Super Hornet multirole fighters, EA-18G Growler electronic warfare aircraft, and Pilatus PC-21 forward air control aircraft. Its units include Nos. 1 and 6 Squadrons, operating the Super Hornet and Growler respectively, as well as No. 4 Squadron, operating the PC-21. Formed in August 1944, No. 82 Wing operated B-24 Liberator heavy bombers in the South West Pacific theatre of World War II. Initially comprising two flying units, Nos. 21 and 24 Squadrons, the wing was augmented by 23 Squadron in 1945. After the war its operational units became Nos. 1, 2 and 6 Squadrons. It re-equipped with Avro Lincolns in 1948 and, from 1953, English Electric Canberra jets. Both types saw action in the Malayan Emergency during the 1950s; the Canberras were also deployed in the Vietnam War from 1967 to 1971. Between 1970 and 1973, as a stop-gap pending delivery of the long-delayed General Dynamics F-111C swing-wing bomber, Nos. 1 and 6 Squadrons flew leased F-4E Phantoms. No. 2 Squadron continued to fly Canberras until it was disbanded in 1982. After taking delivery of their F-111Cs in 1973, Nos. 1 and 6 Squadrons operated the type for 37 years through numerous upgrades, augmented in the mid-1990s by ex-USAF G models. The forward air control unit joined No. 82 Wing in 2002. In 2010, the wing retired its F-111s and replaced them with Super Hornets as an interim force until the planned entry into Australian service of the F-35 Lightning II Joint Strike Fighter. Twelve Boeing EA-18G Growlers were procured to augment the Super Hornet fleet from 2017. (en)
  • A Asa N.º 82 é uma asa de ataque e reconhecimento da Real Força Aérea Australiana (RAAF). Está colocada na Base aérea de Amberley, em Queensland. Sob o controlo do Grupo de Combate Aéreo, a asa opera caças multifunções F/A-18F Super Hornet e aviões de controlo aéreo Pilatus PC-9. As suas unidades incluem o Esquadrão N.º 1, o Esquadrão N.º 6 e o Esquadrão N.º 4. Formada em Agosto de 1944, a Asa N.º 82 operou bombardeiros pesados B-24 Liberator no teatro do sudoeste do Pacífico durante a Segunda Guerra Mundial. Inicialmente composta por duas unidades de voo, os esquadrões número 21 e 24, a asa aumentou de tamanho com a inclusão do Esquadrão N.º 23 em 1945. Depois do conflito mundial, as suas unidades de voo passaram a ser os esquadrões 1, 2 e 6. Foi re-equipada com aviões Avro Lincoln em 1948 e, a partir de 1953, com bombardeiros a jacto English Electric Canberra. Ambos os tipos prestaram serviço durante a Emergência Malaia; os Canberra foram também foram destacados para a Guerra do Vietname entre 1967 e 1971. Entre 1970 e 1973, devido a um problema com a aquisição dos General Dynamics F-111, os esquadrões 1 e 6 operaram 24 F-4E Phantom emprestados pela USAF. O Esquadrão N.º 2 continuou a pilotar os Canberra até 1982. Depois de a RAAF receber os F-111 em 1973, os esquadrões 1 e 6 começaram a operar este bombardeiro durante os próximos 37 anos. Em 2010, a asa retirou de serviço os seus F-111 e substituiu-os com os Super Hornet, uma força temporária até à planeada entrada de serviço dos F-35 Lightning II. Planeia-se também que doze aviões Boeing EA-18G Growlers entrem também para as fileiras da asa. (pt)
