F-4 - the phinal trap


Recommended Posts

Forgive me if this should be in "research corner" instead, but it involves both historical fact (or as we're talking F-4s, phact :crying: ) and a modelling-related question so it seemed to phit here as well.

Anyway, my question: on 18 October 1986 an F-4S of VF-202 "Superheats" landed on to USS America (CV-66) and became the very last F-4 to take the wire on a carrier afloat. No doubt many a phan shed a tear or two!

Can the assembled phanatics here advise whether there any is documentary evidence exactly which aircraft this was, and does anyone do a set of decals for it?

TIA,

Hi and thanks,

That seems to be the only photo available. Same photo as in "Spirit in the Skies", but larger, so more detail - thanks for posting.

If TwoBobs or anyone else is watching this thread, you know what's wanted! :whistle:
