The General Dynamics F-111C (nicknamed Pig) is a variant of the F-111 Aardvark medium-range interdictor and tactical strike aircraft developed by General Dynamics to meet Australian requirements. The design was based on the F-111A model but included longer wings and strengthened undercarriage. The Australian government ordered 24 F-111Cs to equip the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) in 1963 but the aircraft were not delivered until 1973 because of long-running technical problems.
