I was stationed at Ramstein Air Base, Germany 1983-1986 and the F-16 was replacing the F-4's starting in 1986......amazing Japan used them so long. Your airplanes looked fantastic, even when they were being retired. Truely shows the pride and hard work the Japanese ground crew put into maintaining their planes. Well done to all the ground crew people keeping their planes flying for sooooooo many years!!!! And as always, amazing camera work. :)
Hi I discovered your fantastic videos last week and since then can't stop watching them over and over. I served in the air force during the 80's and saw these beautyful jets. Really sad they had to retire. Thank you. Now we can have something to enjoy
What a lot of people don't get about the F4 was it was the original all purpose fighter. It flew for the Navy off carriers in the air to air and ground support. It flew for the Air Force air to air combat ground support and as I flew it as recon. It was the first and only multi roll aircraft that did anything and everything asked of it. I miss it and am sad that it is in the boneyard or used as target drones, not a fitting end.
Please forgive me gently all. But I refuse kindly to say good bye to this Beauty . It will remain forever in my Heart and in my senses, that I have the privilege on earth to see these F-4 Mesmerizing Mean Looking Flying Machine caress the sky all over the world... Exquisite Job Mr. 1-300; Good Job indeed with these videos and my humble thanks for all of them.👍👍👍👍👍
The saddest place to me, is the "bone yard" it houses the heroes of times past without honour or distinction. So we lose context of the difference their life. Samurais (F4) should not die in a retirement home. ⚔️
been hooked to your channel since "The Paradise of Phantoms", thanks for sharing all this wonderful footage! do you have any insight on what they intend to do with the retired aircraft?
Of course my friend. Every plane keeper will tell you that these animals have soul.. I have served in the air force and I can tell you that it is hard to see them go. Needless to say to watch a big tractor scrapping such a beautiful jet to pieces of metal. I felt like they were slaughtering an animal
Of course he was. Maintainers and aircrew alike have a bond with their jets. Mine was the F-14 Tomcat. I was in the US Navy so I also have a strong bond with the ships I served aboard. Sailors have had this bond ever since humans have gone to sea. It's no different for those who grew up taking care of legends such as the Phantom.
@@oldgoat142 Hi. I have served in the IAF during the 80's. Saw both Phantoms and Skyhawks flying. I love the Tomcat , i think it is the most beautyful jet ever. The Phantom is also very beautyful in my eyes.
@@Raanan_Kovesh It is an honor to meet you here. I have a tremendous amount of respect and admiration for the IDF, and the IAF in particular. Yes, the Tomcat is a beautiful jet. It breaks my heart that they are now museum pieces, along with the Phantom and "Heinemann's Hotrod," the A-4 Skyhawk. I had the pleasure of being in Israel in the fall of 1984. What a unique country. It was an honor to be there. The senior pilots and RIO's of my squadron were all Phantom crewmen in Vietnam. They would tell stories about the prowess of your pilots in their F-4's during mock dogfights. I will always remember my days as a maintainer with joy and pride. I'm sure it's the same for you.
@@oldgoat142 Hi, very pleased to meet you too, you are a very pleasent person. Unfortunately , both the Tomcats and Phantoms are still flying in..Iran. Beause of that i am admiring the holly job of our Japanese friend here. Great videos for generations to come and a great joy for us, the old ground crews.
Even if i am a WW1 era fan, i have to admit the Phantom still a gorgeous aicraft, sad to see one of the last F-4 been retired, so many gen 5 crap planes to replace these awsome machines....ONCE AGAIN VERY NICE FOOTAGE!!
何でも、現役を退くというのは辛いでしょうね。私も５６才あとどれだけ現場に要れるか十年は無理かな。整備の隊員のかたの涙が物語る信頼があったのですね。私もこうなりたいね。
感謝の旗をもって涙を脱ぐっている方を見て、もらいなきしています。どんなに、思うこころの強さでしょうか。約束の無いさようなら、辛いです。
投稿者様の愛を感じました...44年間お疲れ様...皆様の応援感謝いたします。
F-15は確かに洗練されてる。だけどF-4の粗削りなところが私は好き。
この光景を見て思わず二やついてしまった人は何人いるのだろう？

とても素敵な動画に感謝申し上げます😃。ありがとうございます。涙が出ます。何にも最後は来るとわかっっていても、寂しいものですね。
Phantom, we'll miss you, we'll miss you so much.... *sobs*
美しい映像と編集そしてBGM 、ちょっとうるっときました。ありがとうございます
There was the Voodoo, the Banshee, then finally the Phantom . You have got to love the fifties and sixties.
Masterpiece with emotion
Dearest Phantom 333: you were Phabulous.
I ll be damn sad to see the beauties of the sky go . Damn life man

最高の航空ビデオ、素晴らしい名誉、ありがとうございました
動画の公開ありがとうございます。解体されたファントムの画像見て肩を落としていましたがこの動画を見て前向きになれそうです。３０２編とかスペマ編も期待しています。これからますます引退が続きますが、貴重な動画撮影、ぜひ続けられて下さいね。
great vid. I too cried. What a plane
Just saw this on Vimeo! You never cease to amaze! What a beautiful, heartfelt tribute!
Good bye good friend....
Thanks for your protection...
👍🏻👍🏻
このような素晴らしい映像を残していただいたうp主に敬意を。本当に素晴らしい。
Sayonara to the one of the most gorgeous fighter...sad to see them go as well as the f14 tomcats....
My feelings exactly.
この動画を見て泣けて何度も見ました。私もF-4のAPGでした。その当時整備性の悪いF-4が嫌いで同期から聞く、F-1やF-104などの整備性の良さに羨ましく思っていました。でも色気のある唯一の戦闘機です。何時までも残っていて欲しい戦闘機です。
So sad to see this old Phantom go, but keep on posting! Would love to see more! 👍🏻
Great movie! Keep posting this kind of movies, the quality and shots are amazing. Thanks for sharing!
この動画、何度見ても泣きます！
Where will this faitful servant sleep. Museum maybe? Or do they have a boneyard for her to rest?
感動して泣いちゃいました。素晴らしい動画、ありがとうございます。これからも何度も何度も見させていただきます！
This is pure art 👏👏👏👏
Big Ugly Beautiful F4 Phantoms..
The Rhino. Pure beautiful brute of a jet.

I used to work on F-4's when I was at Kadena AFB Okinawa, Japan in 1985. What base is this video of.
Superb photography.
Awesome!! Phantoms Forever!!

beautiful
Perfect song

I hope fighter planes that retired to an air base or a museum somewhere will be displayed as much as possible.
Excellent video, the Empire of the Ricing Sun, Cordial greeting from Argentina.
Good bye faithful warrior1
ほんとトラブル３の通り名ままの機体でしたね。整備明けでも何回グランドアボートしたことか‥でも憎めない機体でした。良く用廃まで持ったと思います。整備員さんに感謝!! （うちの息子も含めて❤️）
3並びっていい番号のような気がします。
憎めない機体と言ってもらえると何故か僕も嬉しいです。
コメントありがとうございました。
I would like to purchase this song. Where could I find it please? To be clear I'm looking for this version not the original. Thanks!

Beautiful video. Sad to see them leaving. So how many Phantoms does 301,302 and 501 Hikotai have for now?
I believe they have 40 to 50 phantoms in all.
いつも素晴らしい動画をありがとうございます。
最近、お会いしないですね。私は4/2・5・6と4/9にお邪魔してました。
4/11でしたか、333の引退を知らなかった。
😟😟😟😟😟 good bye phantom 😭😭😭😭😭 more beatiful
Cared for them very Well Outstanding!
I think the JASDF is the only force that flys with all the safety pins on the weapons still in place. So weird
With JP F-4 gone, the only operational Phantoms (along with the last F-14s Tomcats) left in the world are in Iran with the IRIAF...
Have Greece and Turkey already retired their Phantoms? 😨
Turkey, Greek, Iranian, South Korean, and some Japanese Phantoms are still in service.
Phantom drivers - please tell me at 0+30 - that forward of the nose gear there wasn't a pin, not pulled?
Awesome!!!!!!!!
何年か振りに男泣きした(´༎ຶོρ༎ຶོ`)
泣くから見なかったけど、もう泣くの前提で見らた、やっぱ泣いた😭😭😭

音楽もぴったりー（なぜか、大笑いしてしまう。）
What happened to old music? it was good :(
Sorry.
The music cannot be used due to copyright issues.
@@1-300 Whats the name of that song Ive been looking for it again
WOW
BGMが変わってしまったのですね😅
😭😭😭😭😭😭😍😍
did you change the song??
I had to change the BGM due to copyright issues.
Before December 23, 2019 [「さよならの向こう側」6 feat.TeN ] was used as BGM.
在りし日の、任務に勤しむ333号機、
そしてこの日、ラストフライトを迎えた333号機。
目を引く機体番号を付与された彼女は、
それに携わる多くの方々から愛された機体だったのでしょうね。
君(333号機)よ知るや、その心。
旗をかかげ、涙を拭う姿が胸を打ちます。
アップありがとうございます。
"Congratulations, over 25,000!"

肉眼で見える、またはこの手で触れられるものは、

「時間」のなせるワザというべきでしょうか。
ですが、中には形を変えて残っていく場合もあるようです。
肉眼では見えず、またこの手で触れられなくとも、
またたとえ一時 忘れて見失うことはあっても、
ふとしたことがキッカケで、記憶の中に またその姿を現します。
それは決して消え去ったわけではなかったのですね。
「時間」を超えて残り続けるものは、
何らかの心の糧として、
私たちに寄り添ってくれているかのようです。
ありがとうございます。
Was she the last of JASDF F-4EJ Phantom?
She was not the last one.
For a while the Japan Air Self Defense Force uses F4 phantom.
If she is not the last one, what is the significance of this featured aircraft (47-87333)? Were you her pilot?
Based my interpretation of her tail number I am guessing she was the oldest still serving. 44 years in service.
É como perder um ente querido.
