The General Dynamics–Grumman EF-111A Raven is an electronic-warfare aircraft designed to replace the EB-66 Destroyer in the United States Air Force. Its crews and maintainers often called it the "Spark-Vark", a play on the F-111's "Aardvark" nickname.

The USAF contracted with Grumman in 1974 to convert some existing General Dynamics F-111As into electronic warfare/electronic countermeasures (ECM) aircraft. The USAF had considered the Navy / Marine Corps Grumman EA-6B Prowler, but desired a penetrating aircraft with supersonic speed. The EF-111 entered service in 1983 and served until its retirement in 1998.


control summary.... there are so many switch layouts now I need to be vague.

gimbals do gimbally things
the dualrates switch ( channel 5) drops the drop tanks
flaps are in the rf standard position
retracts are also in the RF standard location
wing sweep is on channel 8 normal 3 pos
speed brakes are on channel 9 which is appearently a two pos on the dx I remapped my dx to a three pos on channel 9. (key J for older remotes older remotes will open the speed brakes when the gear comes down)
the sliders on the back are for looking around in the pilot seat.
