IrishGreek Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 Hi Shawn, I went through my AMARG folder and found just one, where A6s were on the edge. I cropped it so here it is, plus some other's people might like. A-6s SR-71 Drone A-10s Crusader B-1 F-4 with special marks? Enjoy. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

They look a lot like Dassault Mysteres to me. Though what they'd be be doing in numbers like that at a base outside of France in that condition, I could only guess.

_Mike_ Posted October 2, 2010 Share Posted October 2, 2010 (edited) They were French Mysteres used along with the F4s and F105 as decoys and for BDRT. These photos were taken around '93. The F4s and F105 were scrapped in the summer of '96 the Mysteres at some point earlier. The details of the US planes are as follows; Michigan ANG F.4; Bu.No. 63-7610 Michigan ANG F.4; Bu.No. 64-0707 USAF marked F.4-C; Bu.No. 63-7471 USAF F.105-G , ex-'Wild-Weasel', Bu.No. 67-0494 Edited October 2, 2010 by _Mike_ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wolfgun33 Posted October 2, 2010 Share Posted October 2, 2010 I don't think they can afford it, even if the Navy would part with one. From what I remember reading, the Tom had one of highest cost per flight hour ratios of any modern jet. I'd rather see them sink the $ into a flyable F-106 if that is even possible at this point, given that most Darts are rusting at the bottom of the Gulf of Mexico. As a consolation prize, I'd settle for a flyable F-105. John The Tomcats will never be let out to anyone but musuems due to the fact that Iran still has some operational ones. Even the ones in the Boneyard are just a shell really. Not a single useable part on them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

SimFixer Posted November 28, 2010 Share Posted November 28, 2010 (edited) F-4 with special marks? Enjoy. IINM, that looks an awful lot like the Phantom that was painted up to look like Steve Ritchie's (spelling?) jet from his Vietnam days, hence the kill markings. It may even be the actual one. I dunno. The last time I saw it clean with no spraylat was around 1998 or so at the D-M Aviation Days airshow. Edited November 28, 2010 by SimFixer Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Boman Posted November 28, 2010 Share Posted November 28, 2010 Simfixer, it is not the original Phantom of Ritchie - his was an F-4D, although 2 of his kills where done with E-model Phantoms. It is correctly the commemorative airplane he flew from a few years back - apparently back at AMARG now ;) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jmel Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 It is correctly the commemorative airplane he flew from a few years back - apparently back at AMARG now It never left AMARG. It was retired in '97 when the last of the USAF F-4Es were retired. It's been on Celebrity Row ever since, but is towed out to the ramp during the D-M airshow.
