General Dynamics F-16AM 88-0004 J-004 Royal Netherlands LAF 306 Squadron "Hawks" On final @ Tucson IA (KTUS), AZ (J-004 is part of the AZ-ANG 148th TFTS "Kickin' Ass" which provides Initial Qualification Training (IQT) for new RNLAF F-16 pilots)
A very cool vintage ad I found in an old National Geographic for General Dynamic. I think it was done by Erik Nitsche.

A visit to Davis-Monthan AFB in Tucson, Arizona is a must for all aircraft enthusiasts as this is the home of AMARC (Aircraft Maintenance And Regeneration Center). The aircraft re-cycling division of the USA forces. The great aircraft boneyard in the Arizona desert holds around 4400 airframes with a book value of $23.6BN . Large numbers of KC-135, Lockheed Orion, C-130 Hercules and F-16 Fighting Falcons are currently stored here (2020); but there are plenty of more interesting aircraft too. In some cases, like the Delta Dart and Canberra, just one example is in store. There is currently a major programme to convert redundant F16C Fighting Falcons into Drone aircraft. Boeing has a contract to convert several hundred at a cost of $21M each - only for them to be shot down by modern weapons packages as part of F22 Lightning II training for pilots.

This was an intermediate rangesupersonic nuclear bomber, to supplement the B-52.
A General Dynamics F-111E at Duxford
In 1961, the F-111 was intended to be a fighter to equip both the US Air Force and Navy. After years of political and technical controversy, an aircraft emerged in 1967, which the Navy would not accept, and which the Air Force has never used as a fighter. However, it is probably the best low-level strike aircraft ever built. The F-111 was the first aircraft in the world with variable geometry, or "swing-wings". Variable geometry enables the aircraft to take off and land with straight wings, which permit low speed flight, but to fly at high supersonic speeds with swept wings.
Another first for the F-111 was its automatic terrain-following radar. This, combined with its low-level supersonic capability, long range and ability to deliver precision-guided weapons, made it ideal for the strike role. Typically, in Vietnam in 1972-3, a single aircraft would penetrate enemy airspace at treetop level to avoid radar detection. The aircraft would then climb rapidly to bomb anti-aircraft gun or missile batteries before the B-52s came through to bomb strategic targets. Unique to the F-111 is the crew escape module - the whole cockpit section ejects in a crash. When production ceased in 1976, 562 F-111s had been built.
The F-111 on display, 67-120, retains the 55th Fighter Squadron, 20th Fighter Wing markings, it carried when based at RAF Upper Heyford, UK. It flew 19 Desert Storm missions and flew into Duxford on 19 October 1993.
