The General Dynamics F-111 entered service in 1967 as a medium-range aircraft designed
for interdiction and tactical strikes. The F-111 was used as an all-weather attack aircraft
capable of low-level penetration of enemy territory. It also could be used for reconnaissance
and electronic warfare. Some unique features are variable geometry wings, the 2 crew
members sat side by side in an escape capsule, internal weapons bay; terrain following radar
and after-burning turbofans. The USAF retired their last F-111 in 1998 but the RAAF
continued to use theirs until 2010.
Built for the USAF TAC General Dynamics F-111A 67-113 first flew in August 1969. In 1972 it
went to Vietnam and flew 44 combat missions and placed in storage in 1973. 67-113 was
delivered to the RAAF 3 Aircraft Depot as A8-113 and modified to RAAF Avionics Update
Program (digital) ‘Pave Tack’ F-111C. The USAF retired their F-111s in 1998 but it wasn’t
until 2010 when the RAAF retired theirs. A8-113 was given a “Farewell” scheme and later
retired to the Australian Aviation Heritage Centre in Darwin.
