Who knew?

I didn't even know there were any active Phantoms left in the US Military. My dad flew Navy F-4s for ~2,000 hours in the 70s.


My dad died in 2013. Some years before he described travelling and spontaneously stopping at an airplane museum somewhere. He commented about the F-4 on display, "I forgot how big it was" after not touching one for 30 years.


In my opinion the F-4 is the best looking American fighter plane ever - followed by the F-86.
