Yes it is a swing wing,but it is manual not computer controled.Pilot had to manually adjust wing sweep with speed.Great jet but was ahead of its time.

Many years ago, in the mid 80s, I saw a swing wing bird doing touch and goes at Wichita. Was this a F-111 or a B-1 ?

I was going to ask if this was the fore runner of the F-14 Tomcat, but, the Tomcat has 2 vertical fins in the back.
