The first two are from Provide Comfort/Northern Watch right after the first war (we all were based out of Incirlik) and the last one from testing NORAD's stuff coming home over the Brooks Range in Alaska.

I think on the first two the airplane was "The Joker".

Did you fly the 111?
Back twenty years ago, I was sitting out on the reef with the divers down and three 111's flew over. They were very low maybe 400-600 feet. They left a wake in the water. I don't remember the the pod on the tail. It took me hours on the internet to find out want they were, pretty sure they were F111's. All black, no markings. We see a lot of black no marking things flying around, so that was not the big surprise.
