Thanks for everyones input here, it has been great reading!
I was having this debate at the scanner club last night while having a couple of haagens (nectar!) when one of the guys said the RAAF should turn the F111 into a tanker! He reckons you could put 5 fuel tanks on it and use it refuel the hornets at a tactical airspeed.
I am sure this is not the best thing for the worlds greatest fighter but I didn't have any good arguements as to why not. I know there are some smart guys on here so does anyone have any good arguements for me?
P.s Gnadenburg, you must have me confused, the RAAF did beg me to come and fly fighter jets for them when I finished my time in the cadets, but I decided to keep my options open at the moment.
