CAF airsho @1985-6

Wed Nov 07, 2007 11:38 am

I have some photos of an FB-111A at Airshow ...I think it was 1985....

My airplane geek nature is compelling me to ID this one...The cockpit shot I have has no serial number in the side stencil and the shot I have of the tail number is week...looks like a 024 to me.

The FB-111A list does not have a SN ending in 24..so anyone else have pics form this show or a clue to the A/C id?

Thanks

You sure it's an FB? Looks more like an F-111F or F-111C.

There was one there in 1986 (I was there). I got to talk to the crew and I remember asking them if the cockpit was loud ( I was a wide eyed 19 year old). I can't see the photos at work so I will check it out later tonight, it's probably from 86.

This has to be 86. I was there taking pictures of it too. No the 82 didn't fly that year.
