+Dave Posted January 28, 2009 Posted January 28, 2009 Trivia time, name something that is different from the F-111C and the F-111G and if you know, why is it like that?
+Dave Posted January 28, 2009 Author Posted January 28, 2009 Both are correct but not the answer I am looking for. Who ever gets it right get a pre-release copy.
Viggen Posted January 28, 2009 Posted January 28, 2009 The F-111Gs are no longer in service with the RAAF while the Cs are.
+column5 Posted January 28, 2009 Posted January 28, 2009 Trivia time, name something that is different from the F-111C and the F-111G and if you know, why is it like that? The F-111G has the letter G in it, while the F-111C does not. This is because G comes after C in the English alphabet, and the F-111G came after the F-111C.
pablo10692 Posted January 28, 2009 Posted January 28, 2009 F-111C is the C version while the F-111G is the G version? :umnik2:
+76.IAP-Blackbird Posted January 28, 2009 Posted January 28, 2009 (edited) It has some slimmer on it and as I can see the very uncommon loadout of AIM-9 sidewinders Differences between C and G are ECMs, combatradius and engines. The C versions recieved and avionics upgrade and fly by wire. Edited January 28, 2009 by 76.IAP-Blackbird
+suhsjake Posted January 28, 2009 Posted January 28, 2009 (edited) The F-111G had a longer range and better ECM capabilities than the original F-111C and the F-111Gs had the more powerful TF30-P-107 turbofan rather than the P-103 of the F-111C and had different (Triple Plow II) intakes.

+Dave Posted January 28, 2009 Author Posted January 28, 2009 It has some slimmer on it Correct and now the why?
+76.IAP-Blackbird Posted January 28, 2009 Posted January 28, 2009 for a better night formation flight ????
+SkippyBing Posted January 28, 2009 Posted January 28, 2009 Australian tactics involve night formation/rejoin?
+Dave Posted January 28, 2009 Author Posted January 28, 2009 for a better night formation flight ???? Well that is what they are used for. Still not the why they are on the G and not the C.
Slartibartfast Posted January 28, 2009 Posted January 28, 2009 The F-111G is aerodynamically superior to the RAAF's F/RF-111C fleet, with better climb performance, range and a more robust inlet design. Well thats what me books says....
+76.IAP-Blackbird Posted January 28, 2009 Posted January 28, 2009 dunno maybe cause of the mission, they changed from SAC to TAC and the missionprofile changed?!
+suhsjake Posted January 28, 2009 Posted January 28, 2009 Because the G is a rebuilt modernized version of the FB-111A. The G was the model built as a supplement trainer for the USAF TAC Command, but when the TAC command didn't need them they were sent to AMARC where they where further upgraded to RAAF needs and standards.
+Spectre_USA Posted January 28, 2009 Posted January 28, 2009 Due to the low viz grey scheme? Geez, man, you put some research into this stuff don't you? And I thought I was a Vark-o-phile...
Slartibartfast Posted January 28, 2009 Posted January 28, 2009 One is purpose built for RAAF... and the other was a retread FB-111A to the F-111G Trainer...!!!
Slartibartfast Posted January 28, 2009 Posted January 28, 2009 As training aircraft FB-111As modified as F-111Gs no longer carried any tanks. However, they did retain the FB-111A pylons, which were pointed at the front and more sharply angled at the back than those found on other F-111s. So the answer I think this time is the FB-111A / F-111G's have 2 extra pylons under the wings for carriage of 2 extra 600 gallon drop tanks. Operationally, fuel tanks would probably only be used in conjunction with AGM-69A SRAMs (FB-111As only) or B61 nuclear weapons on the inboard pylons.
+Dave Posted January 28, 2009 Author Posted January 28, 2009 Pacman and AOC are correct. It was a USAF requirement to have slimers not an Aussie requirement. The G already had them when the Aussies got them. I told you the answer was easy.
