The Phantoms were awesome.

What a heck of an upgrade.

Yes they moved from a plane that was combat ready most of the time to a plane that is ready only 5% of the time ...

The ANG used to fly these around Ft.Wayne in the late 70’s, early 80’s.

They had a distinctive low moaning howl that I always enjoyed. The only other planes I can recognize by their sound is the A10, and the Osprey.

I’ll never forget two F-4s flying two abreast taking-off at Danang airfield. The noise was unearthly. The sight was breath-taking.
