Hi all

I have just heard on the radio that Australia is to scrap its fleet
of F111's...

Not surprising really they did cost quite a bit to run.

Cheers

There's currently a thread on Aus.aviation (ADF Upgrade plans) with more
details. Apparently the pigs will be put out to stud after 2010 - only
5-10 years earlier. The F/A 18s will be upgraded in the interim
until a replacement for both is found.
