Rambler Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 Very good pics on your site. Agreed. Those are the best Phantom photos I've ever seen!! That must have been quite an experience to fly the F-4. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ThePhantomTwo Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 (edited) Dang it,I'm gonna call the Tyndall guys and ask,nay,demand my Phantom ride,I left enough blood,sweat,and tears on,in,around F-4's when I crewed them (as well as F-16's).I'm beginning to think I am the only crew chief in the USAF system that never recieved an incentive ride during thier 20+ year career(except for ol' Jay Weaver,he hated flying...lol) <_< Oh well,that'll never happen,I'd never pass the physical now due to my heart surgery,ok,I'd settle for launching one out again! :P A few pics of our F-4's Edited September 9, 2011 by ThePhantomTwo Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jmel Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 Well, thanks, Rambler. I appreciate that. It was quite a treat to fly the F-4. It's an amazing machine. Jake Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Scott R Wilson Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 (edited) Here's some shots I took a couple of hours after this Texas ANG F-4C landed. 63-7449 had been on a low level flight, 480 knots at 500 feet when they saw a large bird. The pilot had a split second to duck his head before the bird came through the windscreen. Other than dirt and debris in his eyes the pilot was unharmed. Can't say so much for the bird though...

Tricose Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 Some real nice paint schemes there! Thanks for posting those. Tricose Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jinxter13 Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 Scott, thanx for sharing those pics of the ultimate do all fighter of all time. I like almost all the schemes every applied to a Phantom, with the exception of the SEA wrap-around scheme, that one I think they should have left at the "wonder if this would work" stage.

BAM'n'IVM Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 Those two you got with the cloud camo but without tail codes - were they destined for the 924th TFS at Bergstrom? 841's camo doesn't quite look like the cloud scheme they used, but 631 definitely looks like one of theirs.

phasephantomphixer Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 Super-Always a Big Thanks to sharing your Archive Scott! The big thing I kick myself on-not getting my "Picture Pass" from Sec. Forces and my butt out to the line back when at George (87-91). Afterburner Decals would do a George sheet if I had crew names to match tail #'s. Wouldn't have been easy to do in Phase, as they had platic over the canopies when they came in for inspection. Thanks again Scott! Erik. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
