The Pearl Harbor Aviation Museum located in Pearl Harbor houses a very nice collection that continues to grow.  I have always been attracted to the lines of the Aardvark and was pleased that it has center stage in the current gallery arrangement.  First flown in 1964, the F-111 was in USAF service until 1998. The Royal Australian Air Force operated 24 of these aircraft, nicknamed the ‘Pig’, from 1973 until their retirement in 2010. The RAAF restored seven of their retired F-111C’s and gifted this one to the Museum in 2013.  Fuji X-E2s w/18-135mm.
