That’s right, my error. F-111s were swing wings also— mixup Friend’s dad flew that mission- flew out of UK and didn’t get clearance to fly over (Spain?). Yeah, F-111 was retired, and replaced by fixed wing F-15 Strike Eagle for medium range precision bombing, and its replacement is (F-35?) but F-15s are still in service. For supersonic bombing role— replaced by the B1B Lancer with swept wing. Will refresh memory on aircraft. Thanks for the jog.
