Zoomy things - Don't panic!

Three passes? That would just be odd.

they really should do 2 or 4 passes

Would 3 passes be ruled out, for some technical, or other, reason? 🙂

It was bloody bright!!!!! Anyone take a decent photo?

Well I’ll try to catch a shot or two. The problem with the fast flypasts is you end up hearing them after the event (witness the lack of decent photos of the last one over duntroon) and it all happens so quickly. Granted , it should be easier to spot coming up anzac parade but when it’s going 740km/h at 300 metres she’s going to be loud and fast and over before you know it….they really should do 2 or 4 passes.

There’s a whole bunch of F111s soaking up the Arizona desert sunshine already, so if you think you can convince the US government to sell you a nuclear bomber you shouldn’t have a problem with finding one to buy.

Ain’t they the ones with a bit of a habit of falling down?
(Granted there are a lot worse ways one could exit this life…)

Don’t give up on your dream of owning an F-111, Al: there’s enough time between now and 2010 for some Knuck to dent one so you can still pick one up cheap.

Wanted the RAAF to keep using the F111s til 2020 so I had a chance to make enough money to buy one when they sell them off.
No chance of that now Nelson has signed his $4B cheque for the super hornets…

Sammy, I vote you next PM of Australia!

after 2010 you won’t get to see them again

I think the RAAF should maintain a squadronlet of F-111’s, based out of Canberra, purely for dump-and-burns. Two appliances would suffice.
