Drone No More - QF-4 Phase Out
Drone No More: The End of the QF-4 | News | Fence Check
Relevant to group interests. Sure looks like a majestic jet. |
And now they're using early model F-16s. Why am I suddenly beginning to feel old?:{
|
They might sell us a few if asked nicely. Just to tide us over.
(Oh dear, I forgot - we've got no pilots either). :{ D. |
They are (currently) using late model F-16A and early production F-16Cs that have not been in DM too long

Martin. You only begin to feel old when you come across airframes you've flown sitting in museums. I know; I've seen a few.

There are two 'NULLO' QF-4 flights planned out of Tyndall AFB next week, the jets won't return, which suggests live warhead testing rather than just ballistic shots. That will leave just 3 QF-4's at Tyndall, these will then transfer to Holloman AFB (to join the 22 already there) for ultimate demise sometime during 2016, that will then be the end of the QF-4 drone programme.

that will then be the end of the QF-4 drone programme Pretty soon we will have to go to Iran to see any fly, but they may not appreciate folks with long lenses and serial number logs books.....:} |
Doesn't the Collins Foundation fly an F-4D?
|
There's a museum in southern California that's restoring a Navy rhino with the intent of flying it as well.

Flights will be personally tailored to each student’s interests and capabilities. Flights last approximately 40 minutes in duration depending on fuel burn. F-4 Phantom: $12,500 TA-4J Skyhawk: $8,000 50% deposit required on sign-up. |
