The F-111 Aardvark was arguably the most technologically advance aircraft of its era. It pioneered variable sweep wings, terrain following capabilities, and an ejection cockpit.
But why the F-111 had no ejection seats and had to shoot out fire during emergency landings, why Australia went through 10 defense ministers to receive its F-111s and at then end buried them underground, how this 2-seat aircraft once carried 3 lives onboard, and how the F-111 once dropped a bomb that ended a war, is #NotWhatYouThink #NWYT #longs
