The F-111 Aardvark is a legendary American multirole aircraft, used primarily by the United States Air Force (USAF). The aircraft saw its combat debut during the Vietnam conflict and was also used during the Cold War, in operations such as "El Dorado Canyon" in Libya (1986), and during Operation Desert Storm in 1991. The production and operational use of this type of aircraft spanned from the 1960s through to the first half of the 1990s, making the F-111 an unmistakably iconic machine in the history of U.S. military aviation.
