The final flight of the F-111s

Hi all,

Here are 3 images of the final flight of the Pigs today. They passed a fair way to the west of where I was (at UQ, St Lucia) and I only had the 15-85 lens, so these images have been cropped quite a bit.

It was nice to witness this "end of an era" flight!

Thanks for looking.

Cheers,
Stephen

edit: I forgot to mention that there are a couple of Super Hornets flanking the pigs in these images.

What a shame these great aircraft have reached their end....

Cheers,

Thanks David and Jason. Yes, it is a shame that they have been retired!

Cheers,
Stephen
