So did the F-100, F-84 and F-104 wings. None had any silly FB designation.
One aircraft got that, the FB-111 Only for the ones SAC took on.

Please note that the FB-111 which SAC flew out of Pease and
Plattsburgh was a different model entirely than the F-111A/D/E/F
versions flown in TAC and USAFE. Larger wing, higher gross weight,
different avionics.

Well aware of it.
Wasn't that wing a carry over from the F111B program for the USN ?

No. If anything, the B model wing was smaller than A. Don't quote me
on that.

OK, it was something I'd remembered reading. Or mis-remembered.

Never liked 'Varks. It took way too long for the airplane to become
operationally effective. Folks who drove them almost universally had a
"can't do" attitude. Few fighter pilots in the organization.

Not a good attitude for a combat flyer, IMHO

I think I would have heard about it too because in the 1980s
my cousin CPT Malcolm Quon was stationed there and an
incident like that would have been as infamous as the one
where some dufus put a CP tent up in a dry river bed at NTC
and got washed out.

It wasn't just a CP tent !

It was the whole DAMN UMCP

GRmprrrr

Morons from Montana.
My Det, G Troop's maintenance section and the maintenance guys from a
Canadian recon troop were attached to assist them.

I was NOT overjoyed to see the same warrant office sitting across the
table from me in November at the JRTC D540.

Actually I think the FB-111 and the F-111B did share the same wing, they both
had a wingspan of 70.

Oh boy if Kurt Todoroff sees this....

LOL! That makes it even funnier. BTW, did anyone remind
the WO not to put anything in a dry wash this time?

I don't think he recognized me.
He's witha truck company now.
But,
He's in even more trouble than that.

I work in the S2/S3 shop now.......

I think we need him to go "recon" down --- that-away-

Not if I can help it. I'm sure we cna find a mission to keep him busy.
Maybe running the rail yard at Pinion Canyon or something.

Been there, done that.

We'll keep that in mind.

If we get there, bets are they cancel the annual training and have in
state again. The seperate infantry brigade that is supposed to be going
already has two of it's line battalions deployed....
