It's very real. The EWO is just along for the ride, and just having a little fun with the 'Boomer'. Shoot, you should see some of the stuff I pull out of the cockpits of commercial airliners..!!

I bet its real. There's tons of porn mags in our cockpits. I'd be surprised if they didn't do it in the military as well.

Why would this be a joke? Long flight, you need reading material to keep the mind sharp and ready for action.
Boomers have seen more than magazine covers from thier perch.
I don't understand everything I don't know about this.

Well I would have hoped that the Air Force could have at least supplied a quality magazine like Playboy, and not something smutty like Penthouse.

I think that comment was totally uncalled for. If you know anything about attack helicopters, take a look at my forum name and you can guess my line of work.
I have worked with the Royal Netherlands Armed Forces on a number of occassions and I can tell you they are no different.
The aircrew in the US Armed Forces are highly professional individuals and in the words of Field Marshall Montgomery, morale is the greatest asset any fighting force can have. If it keeps the guy happy at work and doesn't harm operational effectiveness, let him have it.

I know, but it's just very stupid to do it in front of a camera, knowing that by now half Iraq and Afganistan is aware of this photo...

I don't think a pic from 80's of a F-111 crew will affect the current state of Iraq.

The guy in the RHS probably realised that it wasn't the best decision he ever made. Sorry if I jumped on your post but in the politically correct times we live in, its a bit of a brush fire starter.
I must add that in Her Majesty's Armed Forces, we wouldn't dream of carrying such literature

Absloutely agree with you. Her face should have been covered by a burka! Oh the shame.
in order to help you loosen up a bit, you might want to start reading similar "inspirational" materials.

That would count as a serious distraction would'nt it ?
Can a pilot get fired because of this ?

Are you 100% sure. Maybe he is a British pilot on secondment to the USAF?

Correct me if I'm wrong but that's an F-111 correct? I believe the USA is the only nation that flies F-111s.
25 David L: Have the RAAF got rid of theirs? Can anyone read the date on the magazine? I hope the PIC is comfortable with that. I mean, magazine... PIC...

27 B741: If I'm not mistaken, the RAAF is the only F-111 operator still flying.

31 Alberchico: and how did he get the shadow of the fuel probe to be so precise
32 Garnetpalmetto: What he means is that it IS a real photo, including the Penthouse, but that the WSO of the F-111 was holding the copy of Penthouse as a joke. P.S., t
33 Indy: I'd be worried of the cover of the reading material was something like "Introduction to Aviation" or "How to be a pilot in 5 easy steps."
34 Jumbojet: dont you think he should be concentrating on the instruments? Also, your all assuming its a guy, it could be a female in there looking at that!
35 Garnetpalmetto: Eh, he's the WSO, not the pilot - I don't believe he has a full set of instruments.
