People, get over it. Talk about digging them up etc is ridiculous. Also remember that there are copies still around. In Australia:
11 F-111Cs were retained as heritage assets. Five will be placed on display at RAAF bases.
A8-125, RAAF Museum
A8-126, Aviation Heritage Centre, RAAF Base Amberley
A8-132, RAAF Base Edinburgh
A8-138, RAAF Base Amberley, to become a gate guard
A8-142, RAAF Base Wagga
On 4 October 2012, six more cosmetically restored and repainted aircraft were unveiled at RAAF Base Amberley for display at private aviation museums. Ownership is retained by the Australian government and aircraft undergo continual maintenance and non-destructive testing. They were loaned to:
Aviation Historical Society Northern Territory Darwin, Northern Territory
Evans Head Memorial Aerodrome Heritage Aviation Association, Evans Head, New South Wales
A8-148 – Fighter World, RAAF Base Williamtown.
Historical Aircraft Restoration Society, Illawarra Regional Airport
Queensland Air Museum, Caloundra Airport
South Australian Aviation Museum
The Australian Flying Corps and Royal Australian Air Force Association would also receive a crew module of A8-131. The crew modules of A8-135, A8-136 and A8-137 are also held at the Aviation Heritage Centre, RAAF Base Amberley.
A8-130 was put on display at the Pacific Aviation Museum Pearl Harbor in September 2013
There are also the US ones still on display around the place.
