To bad there are no pictures of the whole reason the USN exsist. No USMC Phantom II's. Infantry support. By the way F18's and F4's saved my bacon. Semper Fi.
My Dad did maintenance on F4s at the Niagara Falls air base back in 70s and early 80s. They switched to F-16s in 86 I believe. Used to love watching them land.
its the worst best handling,most awkward most wonderful plane ever!! i lov'em. they're such an icon to me.they bring that whole era to life for me when i see one
Worked on C&Ds WCS, SEA, SW USA. Always remember; F4 was a 'fleet interceptor' design; get there fast, in a straight line and shoot down bombers with rockets. Dog fights were not part of the plan. Asshole McNamera left out the gun.
Notice that carrier landing are a targeted crash, USAF landings aren't.

QF-4 Drones. Check out the AMARC-website about that program. Too bad that such a great plane comes to its end that way, though...

They are going out fighting, like any combat plane should do. Just because they're drones doesn't mean they're an easy kill!
Better then dying of rust or covered with sand in the desert.

You're right about that, it's the only true way to go for a fighter.
