Point Cook RAAF Museum
The mighty F-111C. This aircraft served with the RAAF from 1973 until December 2010 and provided Australia with a long range, first strike, capability that none of our near neighbours could match. Although both its short term replacement, the Super Hornet, and the longer term replacement, the F-35 stealth fighter, are both extremely capable aircraft it is unlikely they will maintain the level of air superiority Australia enjoyed in the heyday of the famous ``pig''.
