I think Pearce would be too small - large military aircraft have been known to use Perth. There are not lots of airports in WA where you can land a widebody.

Not sure about Pearce being too small though. I've seen many KC135 & DC10 size a/c there over the years and even a B1 bomber.
Having said that the lack of facilities could have been interesting. Also Pearce often has a different weather pattern than Perth. |
