    I think I've told this story, had all the pilots scared as hell about ejecting, they had an ejection a week at the time and our F-111s were sharing the hangar with the Ravens ...... you'd have enjoyed seeing them in real life Mikey :)

    From that article it shows the quality of our maintenance versus the USAF's, we rarely had either INS or ARS failures and ours was the A model analogue version, very hard to maintain and drifting INS was eventually updated via astral navigation.

    All our As were upgraded to F electronics and had Pave Tack bombing systems

    Automatic star navigation systems in aircraft that old still seem like implausible magic to me.

    Still a bit p*ssed off they never gave any F-111s to the RAAF museum after retirement - they sent one to Pearl Harbour FFS!

    It was constantly booked out by the aircrew so when a timeslot became available I had to hurry :)
