Remarks: I have been hoping to get up close with an RAAF "Pig" before the type's eventual retirement. Here's my chance and there is no need to go all the way down under!
Remarks: As the F-111 enters a tight bank while doing the fuel dump and burn stunt on a gloomy day, wingtip vapours appear and are lighted up by the burning fuel.
Remarks: F-111C of the RAAF 1 Squadron. Arriving back from a training exercise in the South Island. The unique South Island terrain offers excellent training opportunities. Long live the Pig !
Remarks: RAAF F-111 performs a spectacular high level pass dump & burn over Brisbane City, amazing how much diffused light is produced from the flame to create an almost eerie glow over the city skyline.
