Well...the F4 was a damn good fighter in its day. We were still using them well into the 80's.

I just can't imagine that Iran has the spare parts for our old aircraft (though I imagine they can get some off the black market). I'm sure China has sold them planes though...probably some of our so called allies in NATO too.

He even sent an USAF general, I think Huyser was the name, to convince the Shahs generals to hand over power to Khomeini. Many who took the advice were soon deceased.

I wonder what country the Iranians will fly away and hide in, once we start bombing their illegal nuclear weapons factories.

Your home page is magnificent. I had the pleasure of visiting Tehran and a number of other cities, courtesy of the US Army, during the mid-70's. One of the best places I have ever traveled. Historical, beautiful and with hospitality beyond imagination.
Persia will be free.

Just read it, a keeper. It was right on the money about Carter. He was indeed the worst President in history. He is a vile and bitter old man. He is wholly anti-American.

Iran has done a good job keeping these planes in the air. No, they cannot get regular spare parts, but when a part needs replacing, Iran goes to China and has the part reverse-engineered, then a replacement is created. This is also how Iran still has operational Phoenix missiles for it's F-14s. I used to have a real good picture on one of the Iranian P-3s buzzing us in the Gulf. Whenever a USN ship goes through the Straits, the Iranians make it a point to buzz the ship low and slow (and I mean low.... I could make out the pilot's face).
