While not quite totally accurate, a nice sentiment. I know of at least one F-111 credit of an enemy fighter by out flying him into the ground
According to Wiki the credit went to the F15C. This list has all fighter kills by F15C or F18C.
Here is the list of engagements.
Name | Country | Service | Aircraft Flown | Victories | Notes |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
James Denton[16] | Air Force | EF-111 | 1 | Captain James Denton was the pilot of an unarmed EF-111 when he came under attack from an Iraqi Mirage F1 fighter. After evading several missiles fired at them, Denton managed to goad the Iraqi pilot into low altitude maneuvering whereupon the Iraqi fighter crashed.[17] Denton and his electronic warfare officer Captain Brent Brandon were both awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross for their achievement.[18] The Smithsonian Channel in 2021-22 researched the EF-111 / F-1 low-altitude engagement and subsequently produced and aired in May 2022 the EF-111 Raven's encounter with the Mirage F-1EQ.[19] |

What's at the top of the vertical tail? It's different from the USAF / USN versions.
