      I was there and posted colors on honor guard for the EF111 retirement ceremony. It was retired after it had developed over 16 different versions and became a parts supply nightmare.

    One of the oldest air forces in the world, and one that has always punched well above its weight. I love all the historical footage.
    The way it's all capped off with the F-111 burning off into the skies seems almost somber. It might've been a bastard to maintain, but everyone loved that pig. Coincidentally, it was also the reason why the F-14 had been developed, because the American navy wasn't happy with their version of it.
