  • Long live the 'Pig' !!

    Many might not know this (and no offence meant to Russians or anyone else), but this aircraft stopped the proliferation of Soviet missile bunkers during the Cold War.

    The Americans put them on British soil and the Soviets knew they had a problem.

    25 tonnes of aircraft, 20 tonnes of munitions. Mach 2.7, less than 100 metres off the ground. Pretty hard to stop back then, and nothing will probably ever rival the Mighty Aardvark in the future. The rules have changed..

  • What a beautiful aircraft!

see all

  • its a shame i wont ever get to see a dump and burn... now there gone from riverfire too

  • @7nordic it was the liberal party under john howard that persued the idea of the F/a-18 super hornets to temp replace the F-111 , it hasnt got anything to do with labor they issued a review of the decision and to see if it was viable us trying to order the F-22 but it wasnt viable.

  • Brings a tear to your eye.

    I can watch these Pig vids all day.

    The King is dead....long live the King !

    OOH RAH !!

    OOH RAH !!

  • The F111 remains the finest, long range, deep penetration all weather precision strike platform in the western inventory.. Paul Dibb wanted to get rid of them and now he’s succeeded.. The F18 Super Hornet cant go a third of the range, cant carry a quarter of the payload and can only go one third of the speed of the F111 so why get rid of F111... answer Labor doesn’t want us able to strike China and North Korea Labor doesn’t want us to able stop commies

  • Yes we cried this last 10 days, all gone form the world now,,

    NOT 1 plane can do this mission today, not one, only the PIG

  • said farewell to the pig last Friday, was choked up seeing the last ever flying F-111. what an awesome aircraft. 37 years in Australian service, keeping us safe.

  • Excellent Vid 10/10 Love to of been there .....

  • Well I am sad to say that the RAAF flew the F 111's for the last time on Fri 3/12. They gave them a farwell and finished it off by one of them doing a dump and burn for the very last time.
