[quote=@Jamesyco] [@Silverwind Blade] They still fly here in the States sometimes during airshows, specially in the South. They are beautiful, I wish I could have seen them in action. But, I guess airshows are a lot more prevalent here in the states than in the Old World. [/quote] I'm surprised to hear that; everything I've read has said that all the F-111's had been retired a long time ago. I've been lucky to see B-1's at airshows which are the next nearest thing, and one of my other favourite aircraft. A bit out of scope for this RP though xD And yeah, not surprising really. The USA is much, [i]much[/i] bigger geographically than the UK, and with a much better year-round climate that allows for more airshows year round. Not to mention a much higher budget for putting on airshows, with or without military participation. There's a good amount here in the UK, especially from the spring to the summer, but a lot of them are small 'air festivals' locally. Still, I usually go to the biggest one in the country every year.

It's a good choice, and a personal favourite plane, too. I know that Slypheed was originally considering it too, so it's a good choice. And I'd love to have you onboard too, you're certainly more than welcome to join us.
