Did you ever fly the F-4 that had the 5 combat stars on it?

Walked by it many a time, but was never in that one. :-)

Chuck DeBellevue came to Homestead while I was there for refresher or upgrade training (or some such) and he got to fly that plane - again! I wrote a story about it for the Fighter Forum. One of my best articles, if I do say so...

He (and his pilot - Steve Ritchie) put 3 (if I recall correctly) of the stars on it. He's the leading ace of Vietnam, which I'm sure you know!
