Great shots VarkVet,
Anyone know what an A-10 simulator looks like? .....
Its a dumpster the crew sits in, and everyone throws rocks at it. |

Watch the flight characteristics of this jet when the external tank busts the whole a$$ end up.

| I was very lucky to have lived in a small town in southern cal called lakeside. I met one of the guys that had the arduous task of developing a chute for the ejection system of the F111. He was a very cool guy, bringing into perspective the weight of the capsule and the requirements for the chute. The task of developing a chute for that heavy a machine was nearly impossible... good thing they got it done. |

| Long live the F-111!!! A,EF,C,D,E,F,G, they all rock. To add some info to the last few posts. Our pilots reported 900KIAS low level and I personally recovered a G-model (68-0249) that went 2.8 at altitude. Our FB-111 did a dump and burn in Portugal during Tiger Meet '87, so the Aussies aren't the only ones. F-111,....when it absolutely, positively has to get there overnight..." |

| The 'Vark had some very pig like qualities, but anyone who doubted its abilities should have a 1 on 1 conversation with Colonel Qaddafi. |

I was Pro-Super of an FB-111 squadron at Lakenheath (492nd FS) for the year before we converted to the F-15E, Strike Eagle.
I am glad I had the chance to manage that effort as short lived as it was. |

Never forget your first love! Second is f-16 ... only reason I like F-111 better is because she holds more fuel!

Cudos to John Will and the rest of the old schoolers that built these GD beasts!

| Worked on F-111's from 94-97 at Cannon. It was an absolute pig but I would go back to them in a heartbeat if I could. |
