V Splošna dynamics F-111C (nicknamed “Pig”) is a variant of the F-111 Aardvark medium-range interdictor and tactical strike aircraft, developed by General Dynamics to meet Australian requirements. The design was based on the F-111A model but included longer wings and strengthened undercarriage. The Australian government ordered 24 F-111Cs to equip the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) in 1963, but the aircraft were not delivered until 1973 because of long-running technical problems.

Več informacij:

The General Dynamics F-111C is a variant of the F-111 Aardvark, a medium-range interdictor and tactical strike aircraft that was developed by General Dynamics in the 1960s. The F-111C was designed to meet the specific requirements of the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF), which needed a long-range and versatile aircraft to operate in the vast Pacific region. The F-111C was based on the F-111A model, but had longer wings and a strengthened undercarriage to increase its payload and endurance. The RAAF ordered 24 F-111Cs in 1963, but they were not delivered until 1973 due to technical problems and delays in the US program.
The F-111C was nicknamed “Pig” by the RAAF pilots because of its long nose and its ability to fly low and fast using its terrain-following radar. The F-111C gave the RAAF a powerful strike capability, but it was never used in combat. The F-111C underwent several upgrades and modifications over the years, including the addition of a reconnaissance pod, a laser-guided bomb system, and improved engines and avionics. The F-111C was retired in 2010 and replaced by the F/A-18F Super Hornet.
