There is an article in today's local rag about the F-111's which are in town at the moment, playing war games.
According to my flight planning program the V35B will do Amberley - Townsville (600 nm) in 3 hrs 45 min (nil wind).
The Rat's B737's do Brisbane - Townsville (600 nm) in 1 hr 40-45 min.
According to the article in todays paper quoting Sqdn Ldr Joe Bloggs, the F111's came up last night in about 45 min, but could have done it in 17 min had they been allowed to use the whip.
600 nm in 17 min - man that is motoring!

PS: I guess the moral of the story is if you get the urge to try to outrun an F111 - don't bother!
