Re: F4 Phantom - Flying Bus???
74 were excellent prodders! Back in those days, AAR slots were 30 min. On one of my early VC10K trips, 2 x gleaming 74 Sqn Bravo fit F-4Js (Stu P plus another) turned up bang on time, joined, went astern, made contact straightaway, sucked their gas until full, disconnected, went to echelon and left - all in about 5 minutes. "Hmm", we all thought "what do we do for the next 25 minutes!"
