There is something seriously wrong with me, all these pretty pinups and I'm drooling over an aeroplane!!


But it is the.............

When God said let there be beauty, Convair built this!!

And again, the XB-58 Hustler prototype.....




And to finish off, a sad time for Australia as the F-111, known as the 'Pig' has been withdrawn from service. The bitcinest ride in the sky down under is now just a museum piece.......

(Ok, so these are not old pics but I'll be damned if I can find any old ones of Aussy Pig's.)



The 'Dump and burn, Aussy F-111s were the only ones to do this awesome spectacle!



Australia's F-111 came on strength in 1973 and have given exceptional service since. I still remember when I was young living on the farm at Nagambie, very close to the Puckapunyal Army Base they were doing a lot of joint exercises. Seeing the pig at zero feet tear over the farm and the sonic boom, damn that was loud!!
I almost joined the Airforce, luckily I got smart though..........

Sorry for being so O/T.

Doc.

The B-58 Hustler was cool. I think it ran in the mountain motor class. Gary

i had a large scale plastic kit model of this Thundersomething and always felt like i had put the wings on wrong; they were wider at the tips than the root as well as thicker. the problem may have had to do with it's fuel too though ... there are a few more photos in Life, iirc.

I guess it was a "skid-steer", not a bobcat. The tires are called "flat-proof",

I was stationed in northern Michigan with the USAF in the early 70s, a small squadron (maybe 5 or 6?) of FB111s were there at the time. The airmen called them "Snoopy". Last one I saw was at the Air Force museum, I think it had just arrived, along with their SR71 Blackbird, probably in the early/mid 90s. Here's similar to how I remember the 111s looking:
