I never flew but I know enough to know that 30 Code 1’s is an AMAZING run.

A true team effort.

As has been the case for at least 3 decades (4?), the USA sets the standard that probably can’t be matched.

Wow 30 flights in a row without a write-up! It was rare for one of our F-4J Phantoms to return without a problem. Especially the electronics - Com/Nav - ECM - Radar!
