Last F-111 Airshow

Sun Feb 21, 2010 9:21 pm

Ok I have to admit first of all that I stole this pic off of a friend of mines FB page, but it was too good to pass up. My friend was an F-111 Crew Chief back in the day at Lakenheath and as luck would have it his current job 20 years later would have him at the Singapore Air Show this year where the F-111 would do it's last air show demo. Here's a classic picture of the F-11 dumping fuel and lighting the afterburners at the same time!

I was a B-52G Crew Chief and never played with the 'varks, but as a SAC trained killer, it's sad to see the F-111's fading into history.

Yup, I worked 111's for 3 years and yes they were pigs, but when they flew they were HOT AND FAST!
