It does, but the more I look at the rear of the fuselage I cant see the engine pods.The wings definitely look like an a-10.
Hard to tell, image gets blurry as I expand the photo...if I had to take a stab, I’d say an F/A-18 Super Hornet. Hard to even take a guess at what specific model though.@USMC615 any idea here?
Not 100 percent on that,but I believe they've been retired. My dad was a trouble shooter on the USS Kittyhawk and the F-14 tomcat was the primary aircraft on the kittyhawk then,which was 1975-1981 for him.Does any us service still use tomcats or f 111 possibly some sort of Swing Wing airframe.
As best I know, the Air Force F-111’s and Navy F-14’s have been retired for many years. After these aircraft left active service, Reserve squadrons flew them for a few years, then they were both officially retired.Does any us service still use tomcats or f 111 possibly some sort of Swing Wing airframe.
The lovely Aardvark. Everything you said.[emoji106] If my memory is working today the B1B is currently the only variable geometry wing used in the U.S. military.As best I know, the Air Force F-111’s and Navy F-14’s have been retired for many years.
