The final flight of the F-111 took place today.

Holy Cow! Went to the first F-111 maintainer's school over 50 years ago. (it
hadn't flown yet) Some of the original design features didn't make the cut,
I guess. (the wing ordinance hard points that rotated in conjunction with
wing sweep.. I don't think made it into production) Never even got close to
one after that except at air shows.

Looks like the pylon sweep thing worked...

Also photos of the rare AWACSvark, and the little-known economy model
intended for air forces on a budget...
