SILENCE!!!! :nono: How can you say such words on the F-111?! She has long clean elegant lines! Far more attractive than the similarly mission tasked Tornado, Intruder, or Buccaneer.

Seriously? I think the F-111 is a very pretty aircraft! Especially with the wings back is looks so sleek and fast.

I believe there used to be a crew escape module at the USAF Museum in Dayton OH. I need to make a trip back there.
To make each build less crappy than the last one. Or, put another way, "Better than the last one, not as good as the next one!"..

I'll agree with you in all of those except the Tornado. The Tornado is one of my favorite jets.

Yeah, the Tornado is a fine machine… but not as sleek or elegant looking as the F-111. It’s like putting the A-7 and F-8 side by side for looks. The Tornado is just more boxlike and stout in its build.
