On-topic, ASEAN would be a good place. Considering according to a map I've seen they're mostly BETA-free.
Sounds like my country is a good place to be.

the ASEAN nations are more or less BETA-free, and have formed a block called COSEAN (Consolidation of South East Asian Nations), which is apparently supported by Japan in a sort of Far East Alliance.
However, most of the ASEAN nations are overrun by BETA; currently COSEAN forces are holding the BETA in a bottleneck in south Thailand, where the remnants of Thai forces along with Malaysian and Indonesian Armies are fighting the BETA. I presume that Butterworth Airbase is a major staging point, and that the Australians are involved, what with the whole Five Powers Defense Agreement. The Philippines are also helping the RAN, USN and USMC in keeping the BETA from staging a breakout from Vietnam, and are so far successful.
An F-35 TSF design appeared once, but it was on an issue of a mag dated April 1st, so it's unknown whether Kouki was just trolling.

That said I live in Australia so we're still pretty alright in the Alternative time line except we're a bit over crowded with refugees....
Still I'd put in for TSF Pilot Training. Is there a F111 TSF we know of? Otherwise soon we'd have F35 Lightning TSFs; the looks of a Raptor with the abilities of a Spitfire. Gawd.

No F-111 TSF that I know of. Assuming Australia has nukes, I've always felt that the ADF's plan would be to retreat in the opposite direction of the BETA, leading them across the desert, and fighting running battles punctuated by setting off nukes in the desert.
Then again, I figure at this point Australia's forces are primarily F-18s, with an occasional F-4 squadron tasked for the deep strike role the F-111 used to have, with F-5s as trainers. Also IIRC the Australians have a test flight up at Yukon, doing OPEVAL for the F-18E Super Hornet, as is COSEAN's Garuda Flight.
