There was a Willy and Joe cartoon on that exact subject.

>>Then a coupla Phantoms saved our bacon.
My mayor flew those in Nam for the Marines. Could have been him!
Radar on a quad would be really, really cool!
This was up close to Khe Shan in 71.
Came straight over us treetop height with afterburners lit.
Saw them no sound huge...then a bit later great boom trailing behind.
