he F-111 was a great example of an aircraft that could do every thing for every service, very poorly.

Oh, I don't know. The F-111F with the Pave Tack targeting pod destroyed more Iraqi armor in the 1991 Persian Gulf War than the A-10.

The F-111 was eventually retired in favor of the F-15E.

I helped intergrate Pave Tack, My uncle was an on site contractor. That was the main saving grace of the F-111,
besides it could do nearly Mach one at tree top level on autopilot.
