The F-4D I worked on at Holloman AFB New Mexico from 1973-1978. A beautiful plane to work on God Bless all the Pilots that had the privilege to fly them. Phillip Stevenson.
Are u going to make a video of the manston airshow which was two weeks ago 22/06/2013? I saw the planes tv team there and asked if u were goin to make a video and they said it will be uploaded soon?
Thanks for your kind words. I was going to purchase but now I don't want such a rude person to benefit my my purchase. When charm was handed out, you must have been last in the queue!
The Luftwaffe STILL flew the F-4 with smoky J79 engines even though they installed APG-65 radars and HUD's in their Phantoms? Kind of amazing to upgrade the plane's avionics but not tackle the issue of its worst visual ID feature -- the smoky trail exhaust at regular power settings. Then again, the USAF was the same way with its Phantom fleet. I think they updated the electronic warfare systems in the Wild Weasels and the recon RF-4s but they didn't tinker with the engines. I believe the Navy (with the F-4S rebuilds) and the ANG did modify the J79 so that they weren't so sooty at normal power.
What a pity you assumed that we are all music lovers instead of allowing us to listen to the exhausts? Definitely NOT the way to sell aircraft video's in my opinion.

Imagine these beauties with turbofan engines
Look no further than the Royal Navy and Royal Air Force! The F-4 K and M models used by the UK, were powered by Rolls Royce Spey Turbofans.
Yes. Eurofighters coming..
is pitty that most of the countries now use them as flying targets
...what's with the music !?
What a pity you assumed that we are all music lovers instead of allowing us to listen to the exhausts?
Definitely NOT the way to sell aircraft video's in my opinion.
They were like muscle cars. Not like the fragile plastic jets nowadays.
Too old i guess :)
The GAF is adding more eurofighters to their fleet
The skies over Europe are gonna be a bit less colorful from now on... :-/
Ditch the stupid music. J79 singing is enough.
Believe me Mo River, the live sound as recorded changing every 2 seconds with clicking camera shutters all around you would drive you up the wall
