It has been about 10 years since USAF retired the last of its F-111 aircraft, but aircraft spotters in Nevada have a chance to see the Aardvark, as US airmen knew it, fly again as Royal Australian Air Force F-111s take part in Red Flag 06-1. The exercise, which runs through Feb. 18, brought together more than 85 aircraft from USAF, US Navy, US Marine Corps, the United Kingdom, and Australia.
The Air Force budget would grow to $234 billion while Space Force spending would shrink to $26 billion under the White House's yearly ask.
