They might be used in the war against North Korea.

You have to pick your wars carefully. Whichever engagement uses our
F-111s will probably use all of the remaining airframe life.


Long hours, high speeds, dodging SAMs with a full load, will render the
pigs good for pole duty on their return.


Same thing happened to the Victor K2s after the Falklands.
