I am trying to contact any USAF aircrew who were involved in ferrying the 24 F-4Es to Australia in 1970 and their return to the USAF in 1972/3. My objective is to compile a complete listing of aircraft and crews for the ferries in both directions. Any leads much appreciated.

FBF,
See the F-4E article in Australian Aviation on the F-4E, March 1994, for the dates. Very credible author!


Re crews, no joy I am afraid.

Go onto Facebook. A number of ex-F-4 RAAF guys lurk there.

Thanks TBM-L

I'm actually looking for USAF guys. They did many of the ferries to Australia and all of the ferries back to the USA.
