That window in Canberra, was the window of a beauracrat that had advised that the F111s be retired. The F18F that flies now is less capable than the F111, cheaper though. To replace the F111 they needed to replace them 3 to 1 to maintain capability, they replaced them 1 to 1.
Really nice bit of footage, can't believe a commander got them to pick out the news HQ! Very brave
Good to see Peter Criss took time out after leaving Kiss to join the Australian defence force to become a Wing Commander!!!!!🤣
Australia needs to return to long range fast bomber capability. The F-111 was not just window dressing and filled a hugely important role.
love how they talk about pavetack but in the second story twice they show recce birds!
Old school cool
Ahhhh, F1-11 Pig! Superb.
