Gee a Navy F-4, wasn't that nice of the space cadets.

I take it there is a football game this weekend?

Right, big game this week at the Naval Academy -- Air Force versus Navy. As a Navy season ticket holder, I will be there. I am sure they will flash a picture of the new "Navy" plane. Go Navy!!!

Gee a Navy F-4, wasn't that nice of the space cadets.

When I was stationed in Germany, Hahn & Spangdahlem ABs had F-4 squadrons. As a Chaparral/Vulcan officer, we all had to know our aircraft recognition.

Every now and then during my visits to the 'O' Club, I'd sidle up to a Zoomie, and ask for his assistance: for some reason, there's only one aircraft that my soldiers seem to continually get wrong, and that's the F-4. Can you help me out?

About half the time, I received some very concerned looks.

Truthfully, there was no other plane in the European theater (the world?) that remotely resembled the F-4, with its upturned wingtips and triangulated tail.
