FB-111As at AMARC. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
The following photos of FBs were taken during a visit to AMARC in January 2007 by the webmaster, Philippe Colin. In addition, a few F-111G were seen during that visit.
In late-1998, the RAAF set aside 11 F-111s at AMARC to be used for spare parts, mostly for airframe parts. In the selection process, EF's were chosen for the A-model airframe parts for the RAAF F-111C, Fs were chosen for the "Pave Tack" spare parts and the FB/Gs chosen for the RAAF F-111G. The RAAF is not buying these aircrafts but is paying to have them stored at AMARC for spare parts for their F-111 fleet. Two FB-111A, 67-0161 and 67-7195, and one F-111G, 68-0260 were included in this lot.
