Simply beautiful!!!!! Thank you so much for posting this! If only one of these beauties would be added to the USAF Heritage Flight!!! Oh well, I can dream!
@rampking1 Scared the hell outta the Soviets. The deep, fast, nuclear threat. Zip in low, pop up over Moscow, drop a B-61 or two, and TFR on the egress! I bet that thought kept 'em up at night.
@rampking1 Unfortunatly, Friday December 3, 2010 was the very last F-111 flight of any model, anywhere. Many tears that day, my friend, to those of us that flew her, worked on them, and loved them. I think that either I subscribe to you, or vise versa, or we are friends, as I see your handle on virtually every aviation vid that I go to! Lol. I'll send you a link in a moment of the final flight/ ceremony in Austraila.
I would kill to see one fly, just one more time. So bummed.

Amazing how the F-111 turned it around.
During early deployment against North Vietnam, so many F-111A's failed to return from low level strike missions.
Now the Russians wish their SU-24 was half as good a the retired F-111.
The Feats of the F-111 are legendary.

@jonesy97 The dedicated Soviet Air Defense Command had HUGE problems tracking a Korean 747, you can forget about an F-111.
Had them on their heals with the F-111, knocked them flat with the B-2.
Any word of the retirement date of the Australian F-111's?
