Dedication

This is a tribute to all who have dedicated so much to the F-111 program, spanning from its inception in the early 1960s to its retirement in December 2010. It has been a privilege to work with such committed and passionate people—USAF and RAAF veterans, GD crash investigators, flight crews, ground crews, authors, historians, and many civilians worldwide—who have been instrumental in the success of this remarkable 25+ year journey. Each of you has made an invaluable contribution to preserving and celebrating this rich history. Your unwavering support, professional expertise. Together, we have ensured that the Spirit of the F-111 Program will continue to thrive for years to come.

A big thank you to everyone who made this possible:
