Still love that glorious old bird! One of the best (possibly THE best) deep strike/interdiction airframes of all time. Sure miss her.

Great pic. Great tribute. Cheers.

The F-111's still look superior, despite their age. Cool photo!
What kind of lens did you use to take that?

This was taken with my Sigma 75-300 APO. Not a bad lens for the price. It can be a bit soft and inconsistent at the telephoto end, but will have to do until I can afford a Canon L lens.

Cool stuff. I believe that the dump and burn are illegal stateside., the faa are reall anal about lot of stuff. especially now after 911. Usually the cleveland air show is awsome, This year because of the baseball and football games the plain could bot be within 1.5 miles of the stadium. the browns stadiam is at the end of the dam runway. and the indian stadium is about a mile up the road....
