Rex Posted July 7, 2018 Share Posted July 7, 2018 If you have Phantom Pictorial, from 1977, you can see that pic. And, yeah, I didn't believe my own notes, until I looked at the photo. So, it makes sense that you will also need to verify it. It just doesn't seem right, you know. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The RHAW version is very rare, only 4 were deployed. SUU23A goes under the first 2 blocks 35 & 36 as delivered from September 1967. I'm freaking out seeing this, so cool. What caught my attention is the AN-ALQ 120. Any information on the AN-ALQ 120 is very welcome. Kind regards, Robert Jan On 7/5/2018 at 9:07 PM, Speedy said: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
anj4de Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 Great pictures of my favourite jet. How recent were those taken? Does Iran still fly -D models? I know they have -E ones as well. Are all those still in service? cheers Uwe Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Hello Uwe, 2005 I think was the year they made the pictures. Kind regards, Robert Jan Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Speedy Posted July 18, 2018 Author Share Posted July 18, 2018 Hi Uwe. These are nice links with some information about the IIAF & IRIAF and their F-4's. http://www.scramble.nl/orbats/iran/airforce http://www.iiaf.net/f4/ Interesting stuff.

Speedy Posted July 18, 2018 Author Share Posted July 18, 2018 (edited) Hello. Just found a photo on airliners.net showing a "F-4D Dowran" with the typical white fin on the fuselage spine. Photo taken at Mehrabad Airport Teheran in 2012. It has received two artworks (which are seen on its engines air intakes) after its fully modernization program. Iranian Air Force is last operator of the Phantom II type in the world, all of its handful F-4Ds are all gathered in 101st Tactical Fighter Squadron in 10th Tactical Fighter Base "Konarak". IRIAF has planned to do this life etxtension project on all of its F-4Ds , which is allowing them to remain in service until 2020!! From pressTV I saw a conversation about the overhauling project regarding F-4s. Watch the link: https://www.presstv.com/Detail/2018/04/29/560063/Iran-F4-fighter-plane-Army-IRGC-Defense-Minister-Amir-Hatami Amazing...
