FPP127 - FB-111A
from Fighter Pilot Podcast Hosted by Tucker "Cinco" Hamilton, Retired U.S. Air Force Fighter Test Pilot
Here on the Fighter Pilot Podcast it’s once again Bomber Month! First up this year is the General Dynamics FB-111A supersonic swing-wing strategic bomber. Retired U.S. Air Force Colonel Bill Moran joins us to explain how this aircraft differs from the F-111 and how it was used in Strategic Air Command operations. During the Cold War, SAC bombers and missiles were on alert 24 / 7 / 365 deterring the threat of nuclear war. The FB-111A was a key part of the SAC alert force during the final two decades of the Cold War. Bumper music by Jaime Lopez / announcements by Clint Bell.
