The last air to air combat for the RAAF was in 1952, when a Metoer F8 shot down a MiG 15. The last fighter combat was in 1960, when Sabres strafed ground targets during the Malayan Emergency. The last bombing mission was in 1971 when Canberras bombed targets in Sth Vietnam. And then there was nothing until Hornets bombed targets as part of the invasion of Iraq in 2003. The RAN FAA flew Sea Furys from the HMAS Sydney in Korea, and that was it for them forever.

The challenge is to have the RAAF and/or RAN-FAA engage in combat between 1971 and 2003. Bonus points if either can get an air to air victory and if Indonesia is not the target.
