Episode description

During the 1975-1986 era, the Australian Army reinvigorated Airborne Operations.

With the drive to enhance airborne operations capabilities came the notion of operating C-130s into contested environments, and that meant improving RAAF C-130 tactics.

Modern tactics development led 36SQN to consider electronic warfare, operating as low as they could, and using night vision goggles (NVGs).

Retired Air Commodore John 'Sam' Samulski provides some insight into the tactics development of that era and how 36SQN introduced NVGs.
