dsahling Posted September 16, 2022 Share Posted September 16, 2022 So I was wondering does the F-4E Phantom II 'Chico the Gunfighter' have the early or late model centerline drop tank? From the reference photos I have its hard to tell, I know the plane was used at the end of the Vietnam War but when it comes to ordnance and equipment it wouldn't be surprising if its the early war version. My OCD/AMS was hoping someone may have the answer or some info to cure this terrible affliction 🙂 Thanks Dan Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dave Williams Posted September 16, 2022 Share Posted September 16, 2022 By “late” tank, do you mean the hi-speed F-15 style tank? That didn’t come out until long after the Vietnam war. The standard centerline tank used by USAF F-4s during Vietnam was the Royal Jet tank as used by USN F-4s Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hajo L. Posted September 17, 2022 Share Posted September 17, 2022 We had a quite lengthy, but informative thread here about "Chico": Maybe you´ll find some more stuff you need. HAJO Quote Link to post Share on other sites
