I wish I could see a Phantom live. About as American a plane as they come: big, loud, and fast.

The Phantom is just too old by 2020 standards.

I recall witnessing in DaNang airbase two F-4, wingtip to wingtip, taking off like, truly, a bat out of Hell. The noise was spectacular and the fire from their anus burned red hot. It is a scene I shall never forget.

It had an interesting “departure” mode - invoked when one was pulling Gs and exceeding allowable AOA without compensating with rudder.
Time to clean out the old flight suit.

Tokyo is pursuing the development of a new fighter jet it will design with help from the U.S.. Hell no. Buy a US product off the line like everybody else yah damn merchantilists.

Meanest looking plane ever. I remember back in the late 60’s those babies flying over my house, since my house was near the flight line of McConnel AFB in Wichita.

I saw the same thing at Da Nang. A few weeks later an F-4 gave us a little help and we could feel the heat “from the ass end” as we put it.
