Ever wonder how many aircrew flew aussie F-111s?
Well, the aussie F-111 Aircrew Honour Roll has 448 names on the list … but when you take into account some duplicates:
* Three names appear on three courses (Chris Lake, Al Curr & John Emery)
* 41 aircrew appear on two 6SQN OPCONs (2nd & 3rd tourists did full OPCONs until
No 23 CSE, thereafter F-111 Refresher Courses)
* Seven pig NAVs became pig PLTs (Steve Clarke, Leigh Beaman, Tiger Meadows,
Phil Townshend, Teddy Blair, Marty Huet and Shannon Kennedy)
… the aussie F-111 Aircrew Honour Roll totals 394 aircrew:
* 204 Pilots (PLT)
* 153 Navigators (NAV)
* 21 Air Combat Officers (ACO)
* 13 Weapons System Officers (WSO)
* 2 Air Electronics Officers (AEO) and
* 1 Flight Test Engineer (FTE)
Not all were aussies of course: the 394 also includes the USAF yanks and RAF poms who came to ‘Oz' on exchange: 11 USAF Pilots, 10 USAF WSOs, 8 RAF pilots and eight RAF Navigators.
… and for the purists amongst you, the 6SQN OPCON graduates of the 64 OPCONs (1-62 OPCONVCSE + 46A & 49A) = 178 Pilots, 132 Navigators, 21 Air Combat Officers, three USAF WSOs (the first 10 USAFEX WSOs were already F-111 qualified, the last three came from Strike Eagles) and two AEOs, totalling 336 aircrew !
