Yeah hi, can anyone tell me when the F111s were last deployed in combat?
The Australian F-111's or just general F-111's?
have they ever? just asking.
I believe some were used in VN but not sure if that included Australia. I
would have thought Australia received them too late for VN.
US lost several in VN in the first deployment, probably due to TFR
failures, but since no bits and pieces were ever found...
I believe EF-111A's were used in First Gulf War, but I suspect the
last time they carried weapons was probably over Libya..
The were used as recently as GW One in combat.
I'd also hazard a guess they've been used for lots of non-combat missions
that aren't public record..........
E.Timor was probably a case were they publicly weren't used.........
