The Pilot of an F-111E was on a night mission in Scotland.
He called his base Command Post, via H F radio, and reported that he had only 1/4 inch of nose down stick control.
At 8:30pm the Command Post Duty Officer called me at home and briefed me on the Pilots problem.

Does the above sound familiar to anyone?

great detail in this F-111

This is Hobby Boss's F111A. The model is painted as one of the development airframes. I added some crew from the spares box, and tarted up the cockpit with Airscale decals. Not a bad model, some problems with fit, especially getting the escape module to fit, but otherwise a nicely detailed kit. T...

Ronald Francis Kozma Obituary
JANUARY 30, 1944 – JUNE 4, 2023
(The following are excerpts from the full Obituary which can be found on Google search for "obit for Ronald Francis Kozma)
Colonel Ronald Francis Kozma was then assigned to the 509th Bombardment Wing, Pease Air Force Base, NH, in January 1969. One month after arrival he and the entire wing deployed to Anderson Air Force Base, Guam, where he flew 69 combat missions in the B 52 over South Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia. In September of that same year, he returned to Pease AFB only to be re-assigned to the 474th Tactical Fighter Wing at Nellis Air Force Base, Las Vegas, NV in January 1970. He entered F-111A combat crew training that spring. In April 1971 he was awarded Tactical Air Command's Aircrewman of Distinction Award for assisting in the safe recovery of the F-111 he was flying when it experienced a bird-strike on a low-level training mission causing the catastrophic loss of all the canopy glass. This was the first time an F-111 damaged that severely, because of a bird-strike, was not lost.
In November 1972 he was temporarily assigned to the 474th Tactical Fighter Wing, Takhli Royal Thai Air Force Base, Thailand, where he worked in the Radar Strike Target cell in support of the Linebacker Il bombing operations over North Vietnam. Ron logged 2600+ flying hours during his career.
He passed away on June 4th 2023 at the age of 79 years.
