F-111-A Takhli

A taxiing F-111-A fighter jet at Takhli Airbase in Thailand - 1973. A small number of F-111’s were deployed to SEA from Nellis AFB in Nevada toward the end of the war in Vietnam … flying to targets in North Vietnam. Unfortunately at first they were plagued with above average design related failures that were eventually corrected. After the war, fighter bomber versions of this aircraft (FB-111’s) were used by Strategic Air Command (SAC) as part of the cold war nuclear deterrent.
