Sensors can save F-111, says firm
Steve Creedy | January 04, 2008
A PERTH company is pitching its aircraft structural monitoring system as a way of extending the life of the RAAF's F-111 fleet if the Government opts to scrap its controversial $6.6 billion order for 24 F/A-18F Super Hornets.
Now only save them, but just keep them on duty, which is what is required. The F111s are really Australia's prime strategic asset. A cold war bomber unprecedented with a design and a capability like no other. If Australia develops a nuclear capability, we can surely deter future foes in our region, especially any 'bossy boots', like the Soviets.
