No. 285 Squadron is a Royal Australian Air Force training squadron. The Squadron was formed in 1999 and is responsible for providing training to Air Lift Group's aircrew and ground support staff. While the Squadron does not operate any flying aircraft it manages flight simulators which are used to provide training on C-130 Hercules and Boeing 707 aircraft. The Squadron is also allocated three decommissioned C-130 airframes for training purposes. Since its formation the Squadron has been located at RAAF Base Richmond in the western suburbs of Sydney.
