That’s a shame. I’ve flown on her four or five times.

Seeing that people are naming A/C that weren’t on the list I’ll opt for the P-61 Black Widow. It could outperform most single engined fighters and had legs to burn!

Hello Paul,

Any sources where I could do the looking? Or just the usual check on all the news sites?

Cheers

Without actually looking it up I believe one of his wheels fell off on take off so he only had two options, bang out or land on the belly. I think it was last year.

Do you know when and where it occured? Also why his gear wasn’t able to deploy? It is a hell of a photo!

Gary,
The Aussie F-111 was actually landing. A very good landing too – considering he had no undercarriage to land with!!

I’ve had some “experts” say this is a photoshop job. Do you know where and when this flyby occured?

Cheers

As low as this Australian F-111?

I believe it’s called political will. The first foreign war the US fought was against the Barbary Pirates and it cost us a lot, both in gold and lives. But, after it was over they left us alone for over 200 years. I think it is time to get tough on them again and let them know that we will no longer tolerate that behavior. The problem is you have to kill them, and the politicians in the free world don’t like that option.
