The final flight of the F-111 took place today.

Holy Cow! Went to the first F-111 maintainer's school over 50 years ago. (it
hadn't flown yet) Some of the original design features didn't make the cut,
I guess. (the wing ordinance hard points that rotated in conjunction with
wing sweep.. I don't think made it into production) Never even got close to
one after that except at air shows.
