Pease AFB NH 509th OMS, Plattburgh AFB NY 380th OMS, Field Training at RAF Lakenheath, and Maintenance Training at Mountain Home AFB ID. I look back with fondness on my days with the F/FB-111.

@liskone1 not even, the air force intended the A-10 to be america's version of the Su-25. F-111s have a completely different role(s). close air support is not one of them, like your beloved Su-25.

My grandpa flew both the RF-101 and the F-111 during Vietnam. He has a news article stating his 111 was the last plane to leave Hanoi aport at the end of the war. I hope my AF career is as decorated and well served as his was.

The jet was never meant to be a fighter at least not in the original USAF specifications, and the Navy never wanted it. It was intended as a replacement for the F-105. It was McNamara who stuck his nose in the project and figured if you can make a Mustang out of a Falcon you could make one airplane to do all missions. The results were compromises that hindered the development of the jet, and it never did perform as the fleet defense fighter the Navy needed. POS until it flew.

These are all Australian F111s, and the footage is all from South East Queensland where they were based. I recognise it because I was born there ;-)
The F111 always looked like it was just casually and lazily poking along, but all the while it was doing 600 knots!
Absolutely fascinating machines. Well built and yet they could still rock and roll if they were in service today. Long live the F-111
