Don't talk to me about "exotic" composites, carbon fiber etc... The F4 Phantom is the most beautiful fighter jet of all time!!!! They are so screaming loud and smokey when they do a flyover!!! Beautiful,..

Man...this brings back memories. As a F-4C crew chief , I spent many hours in the heat, cold, snow and rain strapping in aircrews, preflighting, postflighting, refueling, installing drag chutes, servicing LOX etc. Even flew a gunnery range mission in the back of my aircraft. Spent 4 years in the USAF and looking back after all so many years, I think that I got the best of the bargain !

The Phantom was by far the best war plane the west had during the cold war era. Kudos to the Israeli Airforce for developing it to the high standards it was during the yom kippur war. It ensure air supremacy for the IAF which determined the outcome of that unfortunate war.

Did many early preflight inspections at 4AM as a F-4 crew chief.....can still remember the red indirect cockitpit lighting. There is nothing like the smell of jet exhaust.....a few times while passing LaGuardia airport in my car, I could smell the exhaust from the jet airliners lining up for take off. Took me right back to the F-4

Mike Lawrence I got a hop in a F 4J in 1968 with VMFA 451. They had new birds with no AWG-10 Radar. RIO’s got tired of bombing missions only, so they opened up back seat school to the enlisted. My VMFA 312 ComNav day crew Sgt. let me go for extra duty section weekends. We flew down to Pinecastle, bombing range SE of Jacksonville. We did 8000 ft rocket and bomb attacks in a two plane element. Came home to Beaufort via Jax Beach at 500 ft.

Nothing like the sound of an F-4 flying over your head. The design and profile were simply awesome. Seeing these planes fly was always a thrill. They had a very unique sound overhead. Love the tail section and the nose, just looks like flying death at mach 2. Watching them go to afterburner was also fantastic. The McDonnell Douglas F-4 Phantom II is the best looking jet fighter ever. Bitchin airplane!!

From 1980-85 I lived in Israel near the Lebanese Border....every day we'd see the IAF F4's similating Dogfights in the sky. If they saw us in the fields they'd sometimes try and take us by suprise by coming in so low that you saw Maize fields being parted by the downdraught from the afterburners. Their idea of a joke i think. Come the conflict in Lebanon you'd see them going North fully loaded up.....an awesome sight. I have fond memories of these iconic Warplanes.

Was an AT3 in VA-145 sitting on the front of the flight deck and realized we were going to collide with the tanker so I started running and kept my eyes on the front of the flight deck when I ran right into the nose cone just forward of the cockpit of an F-4 on the left side of the flight deck that was doing an engine run. Looked up and saw the shock on the plane captain's face at what I'd done, then realized the engine was running and dropped under the nose cone and ran aft! When I looked back I saw the plane captain open the canopy and jump all the way to the ground having realized what I was running from! Very thankful to still be here......
