I noticed on the late night news last night when they described the NZ
fighter that crashed off WA they beat up on the point that the fighters are
30 years old. No-one mentioned that the F-111's are a similar age.
Bit like everyone beating up on the Russians regarding whether they can land
Mir in the ocean. Does anyone else remember that Skylab got spread over WA?
