	OHSU News Release
		Raaf accompanied his father on house calls that in those days might include surgery in the kitchen or living room with a member of the family administering a chloroform or ether anesthetic.
		Raaf's family and a close group of neurosurgical friends were fortunate to be invited each fall to the annual meeting of the Rogue River Neurosurgical Society, during which the scientific program was replaced by dawn to dusk angling for trout and steelhead salmon, and celebrating success with the famous Rogue River gin fizz.
		Raaf, M.D., is survived by his beloved wife of 63 years, Lorene Rardin Raaf, age 93; two children, John H. Raaf of Cleveland, Ohio, and Jean Raaf Binnewies of Portland; four grandchildren, Jennifer, John C., Sabrina and Margot; and two great-grandchildren, Carly and Justin.

	RAAF Radio "The Voice of the Islands"
		RAAF Radio was able to bring thousands of servicemen a constant source of good entertainment.
		RAAF Radio gave only a 60 watt coverage and began with only a limited supply of records.
		The RAAF with their air base were in a good position to bring in regular discs direct from Australia, and had greater use of and access to electronics gear and trained personnel.

	AIR POWER AN AUSTRALIAN APPROACH (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		The RAAF is now redressing that imbalance between tactical and conceptual skills by developing an Australian air power doctrine and recording it as an air force document.
		The RAAF must be commanded operationally at the highest practical level by a single, experienced commander with expertise in the application of air power.
		The success of the RAAF in applying air power across the full spectrum of operations and roles will be dependent on its ability to meet the six imperatives--command, qualitative edge, attrition management, centre of gravity, timing, and preparedness.

	460 Squadron RAAF - Accolades Page 1
		It is an Institutional tragedy for the RAAF that the story of its Bomber Command crews can't be fully reconstructed, and that their experiences weren't lived out within a wholly Australian context.
		Four RAAF squadrons fought in Bomber Command's worst night of the war, the notorious strike against Nuremberg on 30/31 March 1944 when ninety-five of 608 aircraft - almost 16 per cent - were lost.
		The time is long overdue for the men of the RAAF who fought in the great air battles over Germany and Italy during World War II to receive far more generous recognition of their extraordinary achievements and courage.

	144 scale - RAAF RAN RAA in 1/144th
		RAAF decals may be included, but are very poor.The kit is the same as the current Academy one, complete with raised panel lines and pretty ordinary shape.
		As a note for RAAF modellers, this kit is a bit of a mixup, with "G" style triple plow intakes, but wing pylons and dump mast for the "C".
		Of the 170 odd RAAF Catalinas, 46 were delivered as amphibians, and 29 of those were converted to flying boats to increase their bomb-load, so you will probably need to ditch the wheels.

	RAAF Spitfire HF VIII (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Several RAAF squadrons operated the legendary Spitfire; firstly in Europe under the control of the RAF, then as WW II drew closer to home they took up the defense of Australia from Darwin, and in the final stages of the conflict some advanced to the nearby islands.
		As per normal RAAF practice of the time, blue and white insignia were applied with grey code letters and A58 serials, and the wing leading edges were repainted white.
		As the painting of garish markings was frowned upon by high-ranking RAAF officers, the sharkmouth was initially rather small and not very menacing.

	RAAF Club (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		The RAAF Club (or RAAF Centre) came into being in January 1962 when the RAAF assumed responsibility for the facility from the Australian Army who had previously taken it over from the British Army.
		Use of facilities was a privilege extended to all RAAF members, Australian government public servants and their dependants in the interests of their family welfare.
		A new and much smaller RAAF Centre was established early in 1988 to cater for the reduced of families which would permanently reside on Penang.

	RAAF
		Problems with the wing structure made the RAAF refuse to accept the aircraft and it took over three years, during which the RAAF leased 24 F-4E Phantoms from the USAF as a gap filler, before the first F-111C was accepted.
		Tankers were seen as essential by the RAAF to support the planned Hornet force, and a request for tender for the conversion of these aircraft was issued in October, 1987.
		The RAAF Boeing BBJ is the first of it's type to be operated in the South Pacific region and is part of the Air Force's Special Purpose Aircraft fleet.

	THE RAAF WRITES ITS DOCTRINE (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		RAAF doctrine, therefore, has been the doctrine of other nations--neither directed specifically at Australia nor influenced significantly by members of its air force.
		There is no doubt that the RAAF today is a high-technology force, but it is still a small force with a decreasing inventory and, paradoxically, is subject to increasing demands for air services.
		Their project is to develop a manual of air power doctrine for use within the RAAF and to determine a means by which this recorded doctrine can be continually verified and updated within the organization.

	F-111 Aardvark - Upgrading the RAAF's F-111Gs
		The RAAF is yet to decide which strategy to follow in this area, although it is fair to say that a refit with AP-102s is a technically and logistically much cleaner solution.
		The RAAF's strategy is to cannibalise non-flying F-111G aircraft for such components until the AUP logistical system becomes operational later in the decade.
		The RAAF is presented with an interesting dilemma in the F-111G aircraft, as a result of the previous government's unwillingness to provide resources for full long term logistical support of the aircraft.

		The first RAAF Caribou arrived in Vietnam in 1964 and were assigned to RAAF Transport Flight Vietnam (RTFV) and were based at Vung Tau.
		When the RAAF 38th Squadron Caribous moved from their location at Richmond NSW to Amberly QLD, he was lucky enough to fly in the lead aircraft of a 12 ship formation for a 4 hour flight sitting on the back ramp for but 20 minutes.
		It was formed at RAAF Base, Richmond, with Lockheed Hudson MKIV aircraft on 15 September 1943, and was re-equipped with Douglas Dakota (DC3) aircraft in 1944 and de Havilland (Canada) Caribou in 1964.

	GPS Part IV - US Direct and Indirect Attack Munition Programs (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		The RAAF's specific requirement for an Air-Air-Refuelling (AAR) capability has existed for at least two decades, but has been repeatedly preempted in the acquisitions queue by other programs which were deemed to have a higher immediate priority.
		The RAAF had sought a very modest capability with the principal objective, in common with many other RAAF capabilities, to provide a core force for operational training which would provide a limited operational capability if required.
		At this time the RAAF program will involve only a hose/drogue capability to support the F/A-18, there are no immediate plans to install a refuelling boom to support the F-111, or to refuel other tanker/transports.

	RAAF FAC History by Pete Smith
		During the Second World War the RAAF Order of Battle included several Army Co-operation Squadrons specializing in target identification and reconnaissance, and by war's end some experience had been gained with the Royal Air Force (RAF) liaison officers attached to British land formations in Europe and the Middle-East.
		RAAF participation in USAF FAC operations was an incidental by-product of Australia's general involvement in the Vietnam conflict and was the result of the personal initiative of a series of three individual officers initially sent into the theatre on other duties.
		Based on his earlier fighter experience, he volunteered through HQ RAAF Vietnam to serve the remainder of his tour as a FAC, and after the usual staff level consultations, his offer was gratefully accepted by the USAF.

	AIRCREW LOSSES OF THE RAAF
		Aircrew Losses of the RAAF is a long term research project that is underway to ensure the names of all RAAF members who gave their lives in the service of the Royal Australian Air Force are compiled into a single document.
		Aircrew Losses of the RAAF was a project born from a similar idea that I had originally intended.
		So it is important to note here and now that I am not only recording the names of the RAAF members that were killed but I am also listing the names of all crew members of an aircraft where a RAAF member was killed regardless of nationality, whether they themselves survived or not.
