Description
This is a first attempt at building RAAF Base Amberley from the currently available SDK scenery models.
The F-18 is now available within MSFS, so you have everything you need to fly out of an authentic F-18 base.
RAAF Base Amberley (ICAO: YAMB) is a Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) military airbase located 8 km (5.0 mi) southwest of Ipswich, Queensland in Australia and 50 km (31 mi) southwest of Brisbane. It is currently home to No. 1 Squadron and No. 6 Squadron (operating the F/A-18F Super Hornet), No. 33 Squadron (taking delivery of the Airbus KC-30A) and No. 36 Squadron (operating the Boeing C-17 Globemaster III jet transport). Located on 1,600 hectares (4,000 acres), RAAF Amberley is the largest operational base in the RAAF, employing over 5,000 uniformed and civilian personnel.
The RAAF has plans to have Amberley operating as its "superbase" with flights of F/A-18F Super Hornets, F-35 Lightning II, KC-30A, C-17 Globemaster.
No. 35 Squadron (operating C-27J Spartan) is planned to move to the base from RAAF Base Richmond after it is fully equipped with the C-27J.

I also only seem to get airliners at the airbase and no military aircraft. I have all the required dependencies so I am not sure why. Not sure if you can change parking to only allow military or mayeb it is something I have incorrectly set up.

Love your airports. Just wondering if it’s possible to update Williamtown, Amberley and Darwin with this file that’s just been released
https://flightsim.to/file/49090/tee-shade-model-library
for the long military aircraft sheds as it’s open. Whilst not fully correct, it’s a bit closer to the real thing.
Again great airports. Thank you

The aircraft dependencies are a complete shambles and your FA-18 was removed for violating community standards.

Gooday mate,
We have a few problems with static aircraft on main parking bay, Tiger Air and Virgin Airways seem to have merged with a inferior static plane to place them together.
Not a good look however RAAF Amberley is great work . Thanks.
Could you please try and fix the issue.
Kind Regards.
