A much maligned aircraft, it performed incredibly well. Not only did it help topple Saddam, it gave Gaddafi a sick headache as well. I would like to know of any modern jet platform ( F15 possibly excepted ) that hasn't had cost overruns and design and production problems. The F111 was incredibly advanced when it arrived, and had a service life to be envied.

Thanks for posting these, Bob. I'm looking forward to watching them.

i like the f111 in more practical terms.
it gave Australia the ability to bomb jakarta.
we no longer have that ability.
