Guy writes about the F-111- Bill Gunston, in his ARCO book on the F-111, says
that at least three
experienced pilots, including one company test pilot, got it wrong with serious
consequences. BRBR

I say-after flying the Turkey, Ifind it amazing they 'got it wrong' with the
wingsweep. Altho the F-14 wings were auto, every once in a while you moved them
around manually while airborne. It seems intuitive to me, particulalry since it
changed how the A/C 'felt', when moving them back. Plus the switch was aft for
back, forward for forward.
