Troublesome F-111 Planes End Reign At 356 Total
Washington ABP reports the Pentagon will end F-111 production at 356 planes, far short of six years earlier target. Gen James Ferguson told the Senate Armed Services Committee that funds will cover F-111 production beyond mid-1972, rounding out four fighter wings. Doubt remains if Defense Secretary Laird will approve final 40 planes for the fourth wing, while six test models of the 225 operational fighters have been grounded after the Las Vegas December crash, traced to a steel flag causing a wing to fail. Laird will await Air Force inspection results before deciding on the final 20 of the fourth wing.
