Country: | What a horrid thought! I love the Phantom! They should not be allowed to shoot at the things, even if they are obsolete junk. (The Luftwaffe still uses them; I was up on the coast by Nordholz this summer, and they were flying past all day, pair after pair. Beautiful. No other twin jet comes close!)

Country:  | Yeap the Luftwaffe uses them for aerial recon still. We were flying one day and were "intercepted" by 2 Luftwaffe Phantoms. They flew right over us. I posted the pics but it was hard to see anything in them because they went by so fast by the time the camara took the pic they were just specs in the distance.

Believe it of not these aircraft are not worth saving as combat aircraft. They're high time, need a lot of maintenance and what it would cost to get them fully operational, you could probably by a slightly used F-15...

Those are droned a little different than the ones used at Holloman and Tyndal. I think all the Mugu QF-4s are gone.

Country: | And I think the British turned a brutally beautiful airplane into a thing of wonder. I love the foreshortened radome for the AWG-10, the 20% larger intakes and drooped exhaust. THAT is what a Phantom is supposed to look like. Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you the F-4K.

Country: | Very, very exquisite model of the F-4K. I never heard one in person,
and wonder if the Rolls Royce Spey turbofans had the same menacing
shriek and roar as the J-79's? I know it had better range than the
American Phantom, but was a bit slower and not quite as handy at
altitude. Still, it's an aircraft that is not subtle in its power and ability. | |

And the RR engines didn't smoke!
