Not a -111 driver but would love to fly one. This whole thing with the 2018 bomber getting cancelled and the Buffs being irrelevant outside of dropping iron over hajis on camels with nothing bigger than a peashooter, has FB-111 written all over it. After reading the specs they want for the "gap-fill" bomber prior to the 2037 "big push" next-Gen bomber, you end up essentially with a -111. I don't think they've ever brought back an airframe from the 'yard, so this is all a pipedream. Cool bird nonetheless.
