I believe that when they say that the F-111s never fired a shot in anger, they're speaking of these specific F-111s.

...they're speaking of these specific F-111s Yes, that must be it. In 1986, we launched a raid against Libya that included several F-111s. IIRC, it brought the Mister Gadaffi in line for a long time.
