>> Flight of F111s taking off in 1980s when I was visiting a USAF airbase for
>> work.
Apart from the US the other major operator of the F-111 was the Australian Air Force.
On a few occasions they brought one over to the UK and displayed it at, amongst other places, RIAT Fairford. The particular party trick with that aircraft was that if the fuel dump valve was opened while the afterburners were on it could do a creditable imitation of a blow torch. Performed to a tune over the PA about a Kangaroo called Sydney.
Think the year I saw it was 93; same show where a Russian formation pair collided and the pilots banged out.
