It's arguably the best deep penetration strike fighter the world has ever seen, also probably the last aircraft built for that role.  F-111.

F-111 performing a "dump and burn".   I believe that is what they call it.

Actually it was the wings that threw me off. They looked WAY close to the cockpit.

one of the off and on guys in our squad is an Aardvark driver. Cant believe we still use them, I have seen the up close dump and burn a few times at Gold Coast Indy very impressive as the ball of flame dissappears into a tiny high alt dot.  If you ever see Mez on, although its very rare, say hello, He's our RAAF aardvark driver.

I have a photographic memory. The only problem is that sometimes I forget to take off the lens cap.
