Cool, thanks!
I've thought that the F-111B would have made a really good A-6 replacement, but wondered where the TRAM (late 70s/early 80s addition to the aircraft) would have gone. Instead of TRAM, the F-111B could probably have used Pave Tack shoved in the weapons bay like the F-111Fs did (assuming it could be cleared for cat shots and arrested landings ... but LANTIRN and LITENING both could, so I don't see why not)
