You'd have to be familiar with the Fighter Weapons Review from the late 70's that included a famous article for F-4 crews, "Let's Get Serious About Dive Toss."

This was written and sung by a backseater in my squadron, the 69th TFS at Moody, Major Bob Rominger, in 1985. He was a former San Francisco rock musician who quit that scene to join the Air Force in the late 60's. I flew a lot with Bob, including once across the Atlantic. Bob wrote a nice song about me. Major Bill Lairsey, the cameraman, was my IP at MacDill in 1982 and later in the same wing at Moody. I wonder where they are now? "In my vocabulary mother's only half a word."
I had a VHS of this and the A10 song as a kid and watched it so much the tape wore out. There are no connections between my family and anyone associated with the songs, and no one remembers where we got the tape.

Haha, I finally found this song, which I first encountered at Nellis AFB in 1986. I was a captain and an ex-F111 guy with a couple of months to go before leaving the Air Force. My job as part of the Green Flag staff was to run the afternoon debrief sessions for the Green Flag sorties. One of the F-4 guys came up to me before the briefing and asked if they could play a video as an intro to their mission debrief for their tactical 'package'. I said, "Sure - no problem." Little did any of us know what we were in for. The whole audience (about 300 of us) were hooked from the first few moments, laughing our heads off throughout. I'm sure we gave it a standing ovation. I've often thought about that video over the decades since, and just had the notion to Google it today. Glad I did... happy memories! Thanks, @evanf111 😎

no problem man, it seems this song has quite the story, i encountered it randomly on the internet one day, just uploaded as a simple MP4 file with no source, i had a look to see if i could find it any where and couldn't, im glad i have the ability to share it around. and i bet being an ex-F111 guy and green flag staff you have quite the number of interesting story's, and if you left in 86/87 then you would have been around for the analogue varks, i bet they were a real complex joy to operate.

Hey@@evanf111og - Yes, I enjoyed my three stints at Green Flag. As for stories, I still have the RAF flight suit I swapped with a member of the famous 617 Dambusters. We stripped to our underwear right there in the midst of our colleagues one Friday night in the O Club, haha. And yes, I qualified in the F-111A, so that was very analogue!

While testing a F-4 phantom at Pax River Naval Air Test Center in 1960-63 I being a plane captain was required to pull flight time each month. So I jumped into the back seat every chance I could! Wow!!! Flew mach 2, in flight refueled and of course the Test pilots we flew with did everything they could to make us sick! Negative & Postive G's What a rush! At 81 now I have never come close to experienceing anything like it!!
