    As an F-111 EWO and weapon school graduate, I spent a good part of my career dodging the EF-111A. If you look closely, the right seat stick and throttles have been replaced with what I assume is an ALQ-99 console.

    If you buy it change the JP-4 stencil to a JP-8 version.

    Is that because the EF-111A was such a good dogfighter that it just glommed onto your tail and you couldn't shake it? Thanks!

    I suspect he didn't want to just be a passenger.

    F-111s had one choice in a dogfight, run away. Luckily, nothing back them could accelerate with an F-111F through the Mach. Roll 45 degrees of bank into an adversary, but do not pull. Their air-to-air minds always said to go up in a high yoyo. Light burners, sweep wings to 72.5, bunt, and run away. The F-16s and F-15s could not keep up with that maneuver. Too much drag caused by all that lift capability.

    Brian- Affirmative, no stick in right seat of the Spark Vark.
