General Dynamics Raven, aka F-111
The first swing-wing fighter, and it is not really a fighter (see also F-117). Used as attack bomber. It is better known by its nickname, Aardvark.
I have ambiguous feelings about it: some were lost when the software used for low-level terrain-following intrusions did not work the way it should have. And that is deadly if you fly almost at treetop level.
In the background, an F-117, and a C-130 Hercules.
