EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the General Dynamics F-111G 68-0289, affectionately known as "Queen-Hi," during its tenure with the United States Air Force. Originally manufactured as an FB-111A, this versatile aircraft underwent conversion to the F-111G standard. The F-111G was a multirole fighter and ground-attack aircraft, designed to replace the F-4 Phantom II and F-100 Super Sabre. The F-111G, with the designation B1-61, joined the 380th Bomb Wing in October 1988. With its distinctive variable sweep wings, this aircraft was a sight to behold in the skies. The F-111G served faithfully until its retirement on May 9, 1991. The F-111G was a significant addition to the US Air Force's inventory, offering advanced capabilities in both air-to-air and air-to-ground combat. Its conversion from an FB-111A required extensive modifications, including the installation of new avionics, weapons systems, and structural reinforcements. This photograph, taken in the 1980s, captures the F-111G in its prime. The F-111G's sleek design, powerful engines, and advanced technology made it a formidable presence in the skies. Today, this aircraft is a cherished piece of aeronautical history, symbolizing the ingenuity and innovation of the United States Air Force.
