Never say never to rotary cannon. Lessons learned in Nam.
-
surprised they still had AIM-4s at that time and stuck them on the poor F-4e . Did they run out of Aim-9s at that time?
-
@thelleht yeah,those missile we're a dim as the night
-
that the biggest mistake of the U.S. in dsigning th F-4E,no guns!
-
I didn't think a gun was effective at supersonic speeds. F-4C/D' could have a 20mm gun pod fitted under the aircraft, in the centerline station.

Goddamn this is so fucking badass! I should have joined the air force! :D

The story is all true, and I was close by, and involved in refueling Lt. Col. Handley & Lt. Jack Smallwood only a few minutes after the event, and beleive me what is told is all true. Jack (Karst) was a valued friend, and all who knew him will never forget him.
Lt. Col. Handley's wing man Brenda 2 still owes my crew a beer for the "Save" we made that same day just a few minutes earlier.

What? An F-4 phantom whit a cannon? Since when?
nomad1545 3 years ago
This was the F-4E, a later model of the F-4, which did have a 20mm gun in it.
Note this happened in 1972, which was late in the Vietnam war.

did the navy have any F-4E's? because most of the navy phantoms i've seen only have guided missles.
acKarasawa 3 years ago
Just a guess, but chances are the Air Force got F-4Es, and the Navy had F-4A-D's, or sth like that, ie: Navy may not have gotten any, but the Air Force did.
I'd google for more, but I'm lazy. sorry
