Beautiful USAF General Dynamics F-111 Aardvark patch.  4 inches wide.  This was the patch given to General Dynamics personnel working on the F-111 program.  An original of the patch would be near impossible to find and would be quite expensive.

The General Dynamics F-111 Aardvark was an American supersonic, medium-range interdictor and tactical attack aircraft that also filled the roles of strategic nuclear bomber, aerial reconnaisance, and electronic warfare aircraft in its various versions.  Developed in the 1960's by General Dynamics, it first entered service in 1967 with the United States Air Force.  The Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) also ordered the type and began operating F-111Cs in 1973.

The F-111 pioneered several technologies for production aircraft, including variable sweep wings, afterburning engines, and automated terrain following radar for low level, high-speed flight. Its design influenced later variable-sweep wing aircraft, and some of its advanced features have since become commonplace. The F-111 suffered a variety of problems during initial development. Several of its intended roles, such as an aircraft carrier based naval interceptor failed to materialize.

USAF F-111 variants were retired in the 1990s, with the F-111F's in 1996 and EF-111s in 1998. The F-111 was replaced in USAF service by the F-15E Strike Eagle for medium-range precision strike missions, while the supersonic bomber role has been assumed by the B-1B Lancer.  The RAAF was the last operator of the F-111, with its aircraft serving until December 2010.
