The Phantoms were awesome.

What a heck of an upgrade.

It is also worth noting that one of the new JASDF F-35s now resides 5,000 ft below the ocean, having killed its pilot, 41-year-old JASDF Major Akinori Hosomi.

...having lived with them for a year (
Ubon,69) and getting used to them * smiles* they are loud,...I’ll always have a soft spot in my heart for the
Phantom.

The F-4 remains proof you can make a brick fly if you give it enough thrust.

Was working at an Israeli air base back in the ‘90s when they still flew F-4s - nothing like watching (feeling) and F-4 screaming down the runway with full after-burners. Mmm -mmm good!

The F-4 Phantom...affectionately called “the lead sled” because of its dead stick glide ratio...but, what a bad ass looking plane, in flight, and on the ground.

My favorite war machine. It proved that if you put enough post behind it even a rock could fly.
