benjo Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 Aawwww dude, i can remember 2 years ago i think when i arrived at richmond airshow a bit too late and the F-11 was doing his display i was on the wrong side of the airport (which ended up being the best seat in the house) he was doing his display right above our heads! on one pass he came past at what must have been just about stall speed just above our heads with the wings swept back, high AOA with the burners on, you could feel the heat off it!!!! the image will remain imprinted in my head forever.

richter111 Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 Deck shot is great, I saw an advert with F-111's overflying a carrier talking about the shape of things to come Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ross blackford Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 :D, Hi benjo, I had the privelege to be posted at Wagga in 1973 when a Pig came over on a circumnavigation flight of the Country. The whole base turned out to see it and we were treated to the first ever RAAF F-111 dump and burn display. It had us all gasping. Of course over the years it became an integral part of any display by a RAAF F-111. I sometimes wonder how many times this has been done and if the USAF ever also did it or was it only done by the RAAF. :D, Ross. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ST0RM Posted December 5, 2010 Share Posted December 5, 2010 In honor of the Vark's retirement: Here's F-111C A8-109 back in March. It was hard broke with some sort of fuel cell issue. I wonder if it ever made it home? Jeff Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Aggressor Supporter Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 I thought this is an interesting pic. This is my first time seeing an Australian Aardvark in SEA camo. I guess I am just use to seeing it in the current dark gray colors. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

torchf4 Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 Can't believe the 'Pig' has been gone for almost 5 years now and yet still no decent kit that can do it justice! And Hase is still not reissuing their 1/72 kits! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
joeltc Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 Can't believe the 'Pig' has been gone for almost 5 years now and yet still no decent kit that can do it justice! And Hase is still not reissuing their 1/72 kits! :bandhead2:/> Totally agree with you there mate. I have plenty of of 1/72nd Hasegawa kits in the stash(all off Ebay mind you) But I mainly build in 1/48th. I have started to kit bash the Academy and HB kits but I am no where near satisfied with what its turning out like. Plus I don't have 100s of $ to start over and add a ton of aftermarket to the academy kit. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rocky Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 I want to do a nostalgia build of the old Revell kit that had the removable cockpit escape capsule. I want to scratch build an interior, but I am lacking any photos of the inside of the F-111 without the capsule. I've seen a good number of photos of the underside of the capsule, but next to nothing of the inside of the jet. Are there any photos of that out there? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
