Everyone's forgetting "because Straya"
I used to live at the end of Richmond RAAF base. I'd watch the F-111's all day when they were doing training. They are awesome old beasts, especially on full afterburner. Although not quite as dominating as watching a C5 galaxy feet above your roof and screaming into the air.
