Howdy Bunker,

I am not sure if you meant to post that photo or not, but that is not the Fighting falcon, that is a F111 AArdvark or EF111 Raven. Note the duel exhausts and the wings are certainly "variable geometry". And since the F111 is the only variable geometery aircraft in the US arsenal with a single verticle stabilizer, thats how I came to identify it at such especially since the entire aircraft in the photo is blacked out by shadows.

Anyway, not being "picky", just wanted to make sure that you posted the photo you intended to post.

EDIT: It may be a British Tornado instead of the F111
EDIT NO.# 2 Nope, its an F111, the intakes on the Tornado are "squared off", and these arent.
have a good day,

Greg
