        I do too, it is one of the most capable ATTACK aircraft in the
world. But the F-111B was a very different bird than the other variants,
and was a serious woof-woof. A plane that can gross 100,000lbs is NOT a
fighter. But then, how many planes on inventory could circumnavigate
Europe, attack, and make it back with only _2_ aireal (sp?) refuelings.
