This is a list of the General Dynamics F-111 aircraft operated by the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) between 1973 and 2010. The RAAF's fleet of F-111s included 28 F-111Cs (of which four were converted to RF-111C reconnaissance aircraft) and 15 F-111Gs.

Developed in the 1960s by General Dynamics under Robert McNamara 's TFX Program, the F-111 pioneered variable-sweep wings, afterburning turbofan engines, and automated terrain-following radar for low-level, high-speed flight. Its design influenced later variable-sweep wing aircraft, and some of its advanced features have become commonplace.

The General Dynamics F-111C (nicknamed the " Pig ") is a variant of the F-111 Aardvark medium-range interdictor and tactical strike aircraft, developed by General Dynamics to meet Australian requirements. The design was based on the F-111A model but included longer wings and strengthened undercarriage.

The RAAF F-111G delivery flights departed from McClellan AFB (Sacramento, California) and routed via Hickam AFB, Hawaii and Pago Pago, American Samoa. Departed McClellan 22/10/93 Arrived Amberley 26/10/93 (Crew Lawrence/Riddel)

The F-111 provided the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) with one of the world’s greatest long-range strike aircraft. F-111 A8-142 served from December 1968 and was retired from RAAF service in 2010. F-111 A8-142 first flew on 18 December 1968; however, due to metal fatigue it was not received by the RAAF until 1 October 1973.

With the aircraft freshly out of the USAF avionic refit, the Doppler enhanced dual RLG INS provides superb accuracy, in fact the F-111G is the most accurate bomb delivery platform in RAAF service today, with blind radar dumb bomb delivery errors a fraction of the analogue F-111C's sixties LN-14 system's errors.

2023年5月26日 · The F-111 was an all-weather attack aircraft, capable of low-level penetration of enemy defenses to deliver ordnance on the target. The F-111 featured variable geometry wings, an internal weapons bay and a cockpit with side by side seating. The cockpit was part of an escape crew capsule.

The General Dynamics F-111 "Aardvark" was a medium-range interdictor and tactical strike aircraft that also filled the roles of strategic bomber, reconnaissance, and electronic warfare in its various versions. Developed in the 1960s by General …

2012年5月1日 · The F-111 fighter, also called Aardvark, is a medium-range, multi-purpose tactical strike aircraft that was developed by General Dynamics.
