RE: This is wild
That was an F1 11 jet here in QLD Australia . They have just been retired from our airforce here . The f1 11 did great dump and burns and appeared at nearly every big sport event . They would do a wings back high speed pass , then they would do a wings forward , flaps down and gear down slow pass . then to finish the show a fast fly by with a vertical climb afterburner on.

RE: This is wild
Just a heads up, the F111 are not yet retired. Several are still operational.
cassiemitch, I suggest you do some research into your home countries airforce.

Dear Molo as you live in australia you sound very experienced and rude . see this link http://grognews.blogspot.com/2010/07...o-soon-be.html. I suggest you research whats happening in your home country airforce before opening your mouth as it can make you look very small like you know nothing at all !

RE: This is wild
You got this from 'Grog news'? Sounds like a professional news outfit. I don't mean to be rude Ian but I was having dinner with a Pig nav last night. Just a pet hate of mine, these so called defence news experts spouting misinformation on their news websites.
Did you miss this line: "I am sure the end of 2010 will be an emotional time for many people when we say goodbye to the Pig. But for now we have F-111s to prepare, fly and fight." As it is still sept then I guess I am right?
I'm not sure where it says we don't fly them anymore. They are being phased out yes, 1Sqn has the Rhino but 6Sqn still has the pig.

RE: This is wild
. Im sorry my facts have been wrong in that they have 3 mths left to fly . Who cares whether they have 3 mths or 6 mths still to fly , they are still being retired . They are still being replaced . They will still probably fly every now and then by the airforce or maybe they might sell them off or put them on display . Sorry John i took so long to answer you but I was flying . As you said " still in operation " well so are a lot of retired aircraft that the airforce have used . Cheers ..

RE: This is wild
love that video...they physically lost a main wheel on take off...so the chosen option (vs bailing out) was a belly landing with the arresting hook deployed. A very nice piece of flying, you can hear the pilot working the throttles to the very last moment.......
