Hi all I have just heard on the radio that Australia is to scrap its fleet of F111's... By 2010 Not surprising really they did cost quite a bit to run. Not really, the replacement will be JSF and it will require a very large tanker fleet to give the same strike range and warload capacity. F111s were superb aricraft but they became a political bun fight. Unlike all other aircraft F111 could opperate alone: No Jamming support, No AWACS, no fighter escort and no takers required. Very good bang for the buck. Cheers John Cook
