Re: Re:The F-111 in Vietnam did not use its gun.

I didn't think I was being nasty, I was simply pointing out flaws in what the F111 guy said.

In all of the books/articles I've read about the F111 in Vietnam, I've only ever seen statements saying it "was fitted but never used".

The comment from the Mossie pilot is fair enough, but it again highlights one of our Topgun-type's innaccuracies... if the Mossie was in a shallow dive, then is isn't maintaining altitude.
