Last post for RAAFs fighter-bomber

THIS year marks the 95th anniversary of Anzac Day and it will also mark the last appearance of the RAAF’s F-111 in Central Queensland.
The F-111 is to be removed from service at the end of the year, to be replaced first by the F/A-18 Super Hornet then by the F-35 Join Strike Fighter.
A lone fighter will perform the official fly past at the Rockhampton Anzac Day ceremony at Riverside Park.
Deputy Mayor and Anzac Day Committee chair Cr Rose Swadling said the F-111 was a strong symbol for the armed forces and it would be sad to see them go.
“I encourage families to come and see this magnificent aircraft in action before it is taken out of service.”
