Russell Lucas from Sale, Victoria says: "The current Defence plan
includes retiring the RAAF's two squadrons of F-111 strike aircraft
in 2010, at least 15 years before its existing service life expires."
Mr Lucas says this will "leave us without our most visible deterrent
to incursions by 'illegals', interdiction by terrorists and outright
invasion by foreign powers".

So how many boatloads of refugees, er I mean potential terrorists can a
single F-111 sortie terminate? ;-)

"The F-111 has been obsolete for some time now. In a modern
high-threat air combat scenario, the F-111 would not survive to the
target."
