SILENCE!!!!

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.

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.
