I see your F4 bump glad rag.
The Luftwaffe, in their wisdom will keep some of their F4s a while longer. Hard to believe, but they will retire a squadron of Tornados instead and keep their last F4s to 2015. These have APG65 and AMRAAM BTW.
Woken up thursday morning by a pair, Typhoon and an F4 going around and around, over the house at about 2000ft. The whistle from the blc took me back 30 years to Leuchars.
And about my earliest childhood memory is looking up to watch the F4s older brother, the Voodoo flying overhead. Yikes, I'm old.
