BRBR F/A-18F Only if they're going to start building big deck carriers. http://www.defence.gov.au/raaf/organ...craft/f111.htm Ferry range in excess of 5500km http://www.chinfo.navy.mil/navpalib/.../air-fa18.html Ferry: 1,660 nautical miles (3,054 kilometers) Why doesn't Australia apply to be annexed? We need their shipbuilding tech for the LCS class and we need a base in the area to operate these short ranged ships from. Then we could just base B-2s instead of F-111s there. -HJC |

Depends entirely on what missions Australia need carried out: ASW, A2A, CAS,
ECM, ESM, SIGINT, etc. WDA end "hobbit" wrote in message ... Does anyone have a sujestion as to what would be a good replacment for Aussie aging F111? --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.

Well in the mid 80s, at least one squadron did photo recon. They've done heaps of missions since then, most of which aren't public. That doesn't mean they have literally attacked or bombed anything but they did the mission they were asked to and achieved the desired result. -- The Raven http://www.80scartoons.co.uk/batfinkquote.mp3 ** President of the ozemail.* and uunet.* NG's ** since August 15th 2000. |
