Expensive purchase of munitions to begin with, unless what we've got in store are compatible? What can our F-111s carry that an F-15E can't? A former -111 jock (yet another ex-jock who loves flying trikes) said he used to fly low level at 510 kts to 1.1 mach at 100 ft AGL hand flying or 200 feet on the auto terrain following system in the weather and 400 feet AGL at night in the weather. He said the F-15E can't go near as fast, near as far, or carry the Vark's payload. He said the ride was smoother too, but admits the F-15E can easily out-turn the F-111. -Mike Marron |
