Agreed the engines are different but the point was that a small country

can
maintain 35 "obsolete" aircraft and produce all the necessessary engine
parts. The US B-52 fleet by comparison is massive so, one would assume

that
would be a more economically viable solution.

I'd hardly call the 93 plane B-52 fleet vs 35 F-111s as 'massive'.


I'd hardly call Australia "a small country" !!
