@ Pearl Harbor, Hawaii
December 2018
The Pearl Harbor Aviation Museum located in Pearl Harbor houses a very nice collection, especially this lovely F-111. This view shows the Ford Aerospace AN/AVQ-26 Pave Tack electro-optical targeting pod which is on a rotating carriage in its internal bomb bay, retracting it when not in use. 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. First flown in 1964, the F-111 was in USAF service until 1998. Fuji X-E2s w/18-135mm.
