Ilias Posted May 8, 2017 Share Posted May 8, 2017 (edited) On May 5th an official ceremony was held for the RF-4E Phantom II retirement as the HAF 348 Recce Sq. suspended operations. A great farewell to the RF-4E in Hellenic Air Force service with 500+ spotters from 25+ countries attending! A few pics from the event with the last three operational examples flying over the 110 CW.

Crazy Snap Captain Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 Now that is one lovely looking scheme. It is sad to see the big Reece Phantoms go... End of an era. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

CF104 Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 Great looking Phantoms. This thread should be over in the Research Corner forum though.... http://www.arcforums.com/forums/air/index.php?/forum/113-research-corner/ Cheers, John Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hajo L. Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 Sad to see the "Spook" in tears... I think we need to designate the name "Phantom" to one of the new aircraft types! HAJO Quote Link to post Share on other sites

John's "recommendation" -- if applied to other threads in this particular forum -- would result in a massive migration to the Research Corner. Gene K Quote Link to post Share on other sites
