I've had a soft spot for these babies, after seeing them at the Farnborough Air Show years ago :rockon:

The F-111 is sure a sweet aircraft - bloody fast and STILL has one of the best terrain following capabilities.

But, the harrier would be so much easier to park!

LOL!

British crap! It probably leaks oil like a Triumph!

Ah the Carolina lawn dart lol. I wouldn't have one but when you work on military aircraft and get to talk to people who work on other airframes you get to hear how they really are lol

You can only get about 90 seconds of hover time out of them depending on load out and how much water on board. Yup they use water injection to keep the engine cool during hover lol.

When I was around 10, I used to watch a documentary over and over again from the library about the Harrier. Always wanted to become a pilot and fly one
