In October of 1993 the 429th ECS (Electronic Combat Squadron) “Black Falcons” became the only U.S. Air Force unit equipped with the EF-111 Raven. EF-111s provided tactical electronic jamming support to coalition forces enforcing Operation Provide Comfort, which was a military operation to defend Kurds fleeing their homes in northern Iraq in the aftermath of the 1991 Gulf War. The USAF officially retired the EF-111 in June 1998 and the 429th ECS was inactivated on June 19, 1998 at Cannon AFB, NM.

The General Dynamics F-111 Aardvark entered service with the US Air Force in July 1967 as a medium-range aircraft designed for interdiction and tactical strike. The F-111 was also used as a strategic bomber, reconnaissance and an electronic warfare aircraft. Some unique features of the F-111 when it was introduced included variable-geometry wings, crew seating in an escape capsule cockpit, terrain following radar and afterburning turbofan engines.


Hobby Master offers a wide selection of quality, pre-assembled, diecast model airplanes. Each model is crafted to a high level of accuracy using specifications of the original aircraft. They are constructed with precision-made diecast metal and some plastic components.

  • Opening canopy
  • Detailed cockpit with crew figures
  • Realistic panel lines and antennas
  • Historically accurate printed markings
