Video Description

F-111 Aardvark | Behind the Wings The F-111 was the first mass-produced airplane with variable-sweep “swing” wings. Explore its design, development, and missions. It's time to go... Behind the Wings! Join Wings' Curator Chuck Stout on a journey into the history of the General Dynamics F-111 Aardvark. Special guest Maj. Gen. Ray O'Mara (Ret.) shares his experiences flying the FB-111, overseeing maintenance and training. We'll walk around the plane to look at its unique ejection capsule, afterburners, and other design features. This one's going to be cool!
