Re: Help with F-111B details please

There were actually TWO different versions of the F-111B built, as
weird as that may sound.

The last couple airframes of the prototype lot included some notable
changes. The radomes were somewhat rounded on the underside near the
front somewhat similar to long nosed USAF types. Most notable, but not
particularly obvious, is that the cockpit was actually raised a few
inches resulting in a different canopy profile. All of this info is
included in Tommy Thomason's Naval Fighters #41 F-111B book (which I
don't happen to have in front of me at the moment ;^).
