The RAAF was the last operator of the F-111, with its aircraft serving until December 2010. The F-111 has been replaced in USAF service by the F-15E Strike Eagle for medium-range precision strike missions, while the supersonic bomber role has been assumed by the B-1B Lancer. USAFį-111 variants were retired in the 1990s, with the F-111Fs in 1996 and EF-111s in 1998. The F-111 suffered a variety of problems during initial development and several of its intended roles, such as navalinterception, with the F-111B, failed to materialize. Its design influenced later variable-sweep wing aircraft, and some of its advanced features have since become commonplace. The F-111 pioneered several technologies for production aircraft, including variable-sweep wings, afterburningturbofan engines, and automated terrain-following radar for low-level, high-speed flight. The Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) also ordered the type and began operating F-111Cs in 1973. Developed in the 1960s by General Dynamics, it first entered service in 1967 with the United States Air Force. The General Dynamics F-111 Aardvark was a medium-range interdictor and tactical strike aircraft that also filled the roles of strategic bomber, reconnaissance, and electronic warfare in its various versions. – Prince Adagio Nome de Plume JCANGELCRAFT – in partnership with the Holy Spirit. God wants us to protect ourselves and our planet with prayer and ingenuity for we never know when a stray never before seen comet will head toward our earth. Previously menttioned the Jet Flying Skill Olympics will then extend into Meteor belt for reasons that should be obvious. Jets were supposed to be a gradual ascension of experimental planes intended to travel gracefully into space like a shuttle only taking off like a regular airplane.ĭual Environment Jet’s are our future and practice jet flying skills are something that is still ingrained in men that fly jets and thus setting up a dog fighting platform is like a way of getting things off their chess and using digital targeting and digital missiles as a way to keep score. Mine will be made special and will carry no payload (Arsenal or Weaponry) such as missiles and a small baggage compartment just large enough for two small suit cases for a weekend getaway. Rich Hobbiest can buy one for around 1.5 million unarmed, but maintenance is very specialized and tooling up to keep it maintained will cost more than the plane itself unless they have an account with Angelcraft Crown Aeronautical – General Dynamics Division – who should be able to service it and fine tune it. Of all jets past and present, the F-111 is by far my favorite as it is designed to fly with two people sitting side by side and I intend to put my girlfriends and then my wife in the passenger seat for low altitude high speed flights. General Dynamics – The F-111 Aardvark is based on older General Dynamics fighter Jet designs and started service in the 60’s.
