An F/A-18C Hornet with Marine Fighter Attack Squadron (VMFA) 122 takes off during Southern Frontier at Royal Australian Air Force Base Tindal, Australia, Aug. 31, 2016. VMFA-122 executed low-altitude tactics training, flying below 500 feet to evade simulated enemy radar detection or to escape enemy aircraft vectored toward friendly aircraft. By integrating low-altitude tactics into the three week unit level training, pilots gained their final qualifications during Southern Frontier, strengthening the squadrons overall combat readiness.
