Question: Were the RAAF F-111s were flown from the right seat and landed on the left side of the runway? Just like your cars/roads?

and a bonus F-111 air crew killing kangaroo

Always flown from the left side (looking forward): https://www.abc.net.au/local/photos/2013/11/07/3886198.htm (https://www.abc.net.au/local/photos/2013/11/07/3886198.htm)

Though I think they have the magazine decal wrong:

Like this.

Okay, but while making the most obvious joke, I remembered another idea.
Reskit does a M230 Chain Gun mount from the AH-64 Apache in 1/72, 1/48, 1/32 and 1/35. Flip it upside down and you've got a neat remote-controlled weapon for an AFV. Just add some optic from another RWS, targeting pod, whathaveyou...

I guess having a stand-alone M230 also makes it easier to rearm other helicopters or aircraft with this gun without having to rob an Apache kit.
Wonder if it would fit under a Bronco. Or stick it on a pallet and have it fire out the side of a light/medium transport. Spectre-on-a-budget.

Why? You'd just end up with a .50cal chain gun! :-\

The M230 isn't that big, anyway, you could fit it fairly easily onto a Humvee or Landy, ammo storage may be less, though, depents on how many crew you want in the vehicle. :smiley:
