F-111c a3-142
Posted By: jawsy, 12-27-2016, 02:57 PM

A3-142 gate guarding. Captured before the gloss gets baked off (which generally doesn't take too long). I wouldn't object to my taxes going towards a decent roof for the aircraft standing in front of this base. Given the base is a technical training facility, they'd be advised to put a proper scheme over the Sabre and Mirage; they look terrible.

Don't hold your breath on the F-35.
Watching where that goes with some interest, but sort of hoping it does go by the wayside despite the expense. It just never seemed to be the right fit for the RAAF, unless there's a future contract to cover the air superiority/air-to-air role.

I've never heard it called the Aardvark in Australian service
I guess it was a US Air Force appellation.

I never tire of visiting museums, I just haven't posted all of the pictures I take there.

If nothing else, the engineering required to propel and manoeuvre 10-20 tonnes of alloy with air and kerosene never ceases to impress (talking jets of course). The older it is, the more impressive.
