Can you say “F-111?”

Re-learning lessons from the past. . .


Actually, the “aardvark” turned out to be a useful strike and EW aircraft. Certainly not an air-air fighter, though.

The jet was sold as THE jet for all missions (”F”-111) and for all services (except Army).

Only when it specialized and gave up trying to be the jet for every mission for everyone, then it did well. . .”FB” mission, excellent, “EF” mission, excellent.
