FPP111 - F-111

Here on the FPP, most aircraft series episodes featuring U.S.-designed warplanes have two-part titles comprised of the aircraft's designation and name, like the recent F-106 Delta Dart ( https://www.fighterpilotpodcast.com/episodes/106-f-106-delta-dart/ ) or forthcoming P-51 Mustang. So what's up with episode 111? On this episode, we explore why the General Dynamics ( https://www.gd.com/ ) F-111 ( https://www.lockheedmartin.com/en-us/news/features/history/f-111.html ) never received an official name in addition to all our usual aircraft series questions, and we do so with our first Australian guests to grace the show: Air Marshal Gavin "Leo" Davies ( https://www.airforce.gov.au/air-marshal-leo-davies-ao-csc ) and Air Vice-Marshal Stephen "Mero" Meredith ( https://www.airforce.gov.au/our-people/our-leaders/deputy-chief-air-force ) join us from the Royal Australian Air Force. Because of these dignitaries, no announcements or listener questions are covered. Bumper music by Jaime Lopez / announcements by Clint Bell ( https://www.clintbellproductions.com/ ).
