I worked on these in the AF. They were really cool A/V in their time.
Just as soon as I win the $421 million Mega Millions tonight, my bid’s going in.
Worked on Navy/Marine versions at MCAS Beaufort, SC. but B, C, and D models. Probably would put a later model J-79 in it since I’d have money to spare. The early ones were a little flakey.
Great. So it can rust in my backyard.
I’m a cheapskate. Back in 1986 I bought a M-1A rifle to compensate me for the M-14 I shot Expert with in Officers’ Basic in 1968.
Since Trump stooped the war on coal an F-4 could be a fun toy. Fuel is cheap and abundant.
“The McDonnell Douglas F4 Phantom. Proof that with a big enough engine, even a brick will fly.”
while maintaining eye contact with your buddies for far too long?
Haha!
You Can Now Buy Your Very Own F-4 Phantom Fighter Jet for a Total Steal, complete with a set of earplugs
there fixed it
Way Cool and about time there were more F-4’s on the market
But I still want an F-4C
Unfortunately it’ll cost about my retirement to go into full A/B and get it out to Mach 2
Phantom II Bu.145310 a pre-production variant and the 11th one produced before the plane was ultimately re-designated the F-4 in September 1962 is on sale for $3.95 million..
What do I have to do to get you into an F-4 today?
No self respecting fighter pilot would ride a "hog", anymore than they would drive a low-rider.
Great! It’s time to trade in my Delta Dart.
I’d buy one for my wife, but, she would probably just sleep in the intakes.
(backstory: when she was in the Air Force in the 80s, she was in NDI. They planes couldn’t fly until she signed off on them. She would check the plane, then, crawl into the intake and take a nap, until the pilot came back from lunch.)
I knew the guy years ago that bought this plane out of a scrap yard in PA.Lot of work and money went into this thing.Later engines would be a real good idea.
Only flown by a little old major on his Sunday church runs
How much runway does it need?
Meanest looking fighter ever!
Coolest plane ever. Love those droopy tail fins.
