Micro Posted May 13, 2017 Share Posted May 13, 2017 Does anyone have any info on this? As is standard with YouTube, there are lots of conflicting reports in the comments. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Whiskey Posted May 14, 2017 Share Posted May 14, 2017 Pretty interesting. That Tomcat has been there for a while as some trees have grown through thepanels on the intakes Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GW8345 Posted May 14, 2017 Share Posted May 14, 2017 My guess is that that is an old aircraft dump at or near NAS Dallas since the F-4 (Buno 152267) was the gate guard there before it closed. The Tomcats probably belonged to VF-201 or VF-202 and were dumped there when VF-202 was decomm'ed since one of them has "SARDIP" painted on it and was probably used as a source of spare parts for VF-201 aircraft. If you Google (F-4B Buno 152267) you can find some info about it. Also, look up the buno here, it states: http://www.joebaugher.com/navy_serials/thirdseries19.html "152267 (MSN 994) upgraded to F-4N. SOC Apr 14, 1982. Currently preserved in Dallas, Texas. When it went to the Army Reserve, it was towed to a forest area near Temple, TX. NMNA at Pensacola took charge of all Navy preserved aircraft." This site shows the mounting frame that is under the F-4; http://aerialvisuals.ca/AirframeDossier.php?Serial=161034 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
