The F-111 is one of my favorites. It does one thing VERY well (I wonder if in UF, they have some of them rigged for use on carriers), but it had its problems. They tried to make it do a number of contradictory missions, when in reality, it was best suited to deliver a lot of ordnance on target. It did that very well (I sometimes imagine what a F-111 carrying 36 500-pound JDAMs - enough to ruin a villain's evening, don't ya think). Trying to make it a fighter was a mistake.
