Completely valid!
On the other hand, this is a great in to go spend some close up time with your country's AF. I flew with the Aussie F-18s in Darwin last year (they were out of Tindal) & can tell you that if you contact the closest F-18 base & ask them, they're likely to set up a visit/tour for you & you can talk to them face to face.
Here's the short list I could find of bases so you can find the closest one...Australia is friggen' huge so hopefully you can drive to one.
No. 1 SQ RAAF Amberley
No. 3 SQ, No. 77 SQ & No. 2 Sq RAAF Williamtown
No. 75 SQ RAAF Tindal (I flew with these guys, & the base still has F-111s to I believe)
Best of luck,
