Me thinks the Aussies are the only ones left flying the F-111 as well. Some guys have all the fun...

Huh?

If the F-111 is a fighter, then I am a Democrat.

Sends a great message to smugglers.

It's for sure the folks working for
EPA and endangered specie groups are
going to be blasting the Aussies for
polluting the environment of our
edible fish supply.
But for those addicted to drugs,
save your money and experiment by
ingesting squid and John Dory...raw!

A very 'in-yo-face'-act.

Good for them.

You are correct, sir. Damn shame, too. We never should have mothballed the EF-111As. The F-111Fs could have been useful today, but the F-15E does a fine job. However, the A6-E Intruder is no substitute for the EF-111A.

The Aussies are flying the F-111C and F-111G (former EF-111A) now, and they know how to use them!

That's a hell of a fast aircraft. It's truly a shame we dont use them anymore. They were great at moving in and putting bombs on target.

Actually, even though thats what it was designed to be in the beginning, the F-111 was never used as a fighter. It was a bomber. Rember, they were the planes that delivered bombs to tripoli in 1986.

It was originally designed to be a navy fighter, but was too big for the elevators, as I remember. It was also the only other aircraft besides the F-14 designed to fire the Phoenix air-to-air missle.

That would be logical since the RAAF was the only other operator.
