EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the General Dynamics F-111E, military serial number 68-0036, also known as JR, of the United States Air Force (USAF). The image was taken circa 1971, when this advanced tactical fighter was based at RAF Upper Heyford in England. The 79th Tactical Fighter Squadron and the 20th Tactical Fighter Wing were the proud hosts of this formidable aircraft. The F-111E, a variant of the versatile F-111 Aardvark, was a ground-attack and tactical strike aircraft, capable of delivering a wide range of conventional and nuclear weapons. Its unique variable sweep wings allowed it to adapt to various flight regimes, from supersonic cruising to slow, low-level flying. In this photograph, the F-111E is seen on the tarmac, its powerful engines idling, ready for its next mission. The aircraft's striking camouflage pattern, a testament to its stealth capabilities, is accentuated by the vibrant colors of the USAF insignia and the 79th Tactical Fighter Squadron markings. The scene is a snapshot of a bygone era in aviation history, when the roar of jet engines and the sight of military aircraft were a common occurrence in the skies above RAF Upper Heyford. This photograph is a testament to the rich history of military aviation and the remarkable technology that has shaped the skies for decades. The F-111E, with its innovative design and versatile capabilities, remains an iconic symbol of the USAF's commitment to protecting the nation and its allies.
