  • @ugott1 Google Luftwaffe "F-4 Phantom ICE" to get more details on all the German updates.

    There was a time when Deutschland was on the verge of pulling out of the Eurofighter program and they more a less gave the F-4 a new bag of tricks to buy time.

    If I recall, the radar system was the latest technology, there was significant weight reduction and I think a little more thrust from the engines.

  • I was in the Kentucky Air National Guard and this Vid brings back good memories. Our planes had the two wing tanks as opposed to the "High Speed Centerline Fuel Tank".

  • @ugott1 RF-4 Series is the Photo Recon variant. These aircraft are USAF (ANG I think) RF-4Cs. The German Air Force used the RF-4E (until sold to Turkey and Greece) as with all the foreign operators. The USMC used the RF-4B, which was almost the same as the RF-4C, but for carrier operations.

  • U.S. F-4s started getting "low smoke" engines around 1983

  • What sort of sight is that. Is it Recce thing?

  • Man, you post excellent F-4 vids.

    These are really quite extraordinary.

    Thanks again!

  • Nice shot of the RF-4C armed up with the AIM 9L Sidewinder missle.

  • The RF-4C is a USAF version with the GE J79-15 engine. The RF-4E had different engines and were based on the F-4E airframe. The USAF did not use this version, But countries such as Germany, Greece, Iran, Japan, Turkey and others used it. I miss the F-4. I worked on them, Loved them.
