Swing wings that is.... duck

The F-111 is by far my favourite USAF jet. Sorry guys but nothing in the current US inventory comes even close to being as downright sexy as an F-111.

Oh how I'd like to see a proper F-111 sim...

GKS F-111E for FSX. Thunderstorms about today, quite a bumpy ride!

Great shots, particularly the one with full afterburner down low - I think my FSX would have a serious case of the blurries if I tried scooting around in something like that!

F-111F version was pretty much perfect in my opinion. Great shots, underrated aircraft I think. Saw it at Fairford (96 I think?) and it did it's signature fuel dump. Amazing. Every car in the car park had its alarm going on the fast flypast. Only other plane I seen do that is the B-1 and the Mirage 2000(!).

Nice shots! I saw one of these at the Airpower Museum 2 weeks ago on Long Island. This plane is hugh, when you stand next to it!

Thanks for the comments guys. I remember way back in the early 90's I used to see the occasional F-111 flying into or out of Manston when it was still an RAF base.

I'll have a dig around my FSX hangar and see what other swingers I've got salute

Awesome screens, the F-111 is an awesome piece of machinery and the only combat aircraft I've sat in thumbsup

Just Flight recently announced a Tornado made by the same guys that did the Canberra (Yay!), but it means the VC10 has been delayed (Booo!).

Anyway, to keep the theme going...

It's the Kentish Flats Wind Farm, part of the Orbx England scenery:
