I guess the Brits CAN DO.  This seems to me to be a past time event, but......”

 

John,

First – Dunno who identified the picture but it was an AUSTRALIAN RAAF aircraft and AUSTRALIAN Pilot and Nav – NOT as we call ‘em downunder – a cupla POMMY B******DS. AKA as you call ‘em – BRITS. The Brits, or as I call ‘em POMMY B*****DS, ordered F-111’s in the 60s but bailed out of the contract, when delivery was delayed and their economy went into meltdown.

Ya didn’t show the pilot and nav jumping out and running away!!! Much as I would do.

Cheers

Father of former RAAF F-111 pilot and squadron instructor, and who simulated shot down a cupla F-16s at RED FLAG with his F-111 back in the early ‘90s..

PS – One if my best mates is a POMMY B*****D. It’s a term of endearment as well.

Ok Guys:

If you ever want to do a good wheels up landing in your Lancair, start by installing a tail hook......

This guy is a better pilot than I will ever be!
