Grumman EF-111 Raven (66-0047)

* Note .... F-111s were originally built by General Dynamics. The conversion of some F-111s to EF-111A aircraft such as the one seen in this photo was done by Grumman.
** Note ... This is one of only four EF-111s still on public display and this is the only one of the four not located on a United States Air Force installation. There is one at Mountain Home AFB, Idaho; another at Cannon AFB, New Mexico; and the third is in the National Museum of the United States Air Force at Wright-Patterson AFB, Ohio.

My house is only 10 miles away from this airport so I was able to go by every so often and photograph the rebuilding of 660047 thru the various phases from separate parts to the now-completed version. After I snapped this photo, we landed and I took many shots of the finished project. I'll post one or two soon.

Thanks very much, Gary...!!! :-)

I appreciate your sharing this photo capture and the superb "info" with us.
