#1 According to Wikipedia ( too cheap to buy Janes)
they have various flavors of Lawn Darts and 5 A300s that are tankers to tow them to the scene of the action.

#2 F111's used to fly over our school (very low) in the Flinders Ranges- they must have used the community for a way point, and they always flew away up the same gorge. We would all race out to see them, I remember two kids just amazed "Miss Cooper jumped over my desk!"
Great planes, once they sorted them out. They had some patches that were older than the pilots.
