| Post subject: | Phantoms Phorever! (pics) |
Got a little (well...HUGE) treat Thursday as two QF-4Es from Tyndall landed at my base for a gas n go on their way to Duluth MN for an airshow this weekend. I got it in good with our TA so I asked if they needed help...and they did so I got to crew a Phantom for the first time in about 18 years. I was a Phantom Phixer (F-4G Weasel Keeper) for six years when I first joined the USAF in 1986 so this was fun! I took a few pictures. 
Me out front. 
Bye bye!

First weasle, let me just say how much YOU SUCK for still being able to work on these birds. Second, that you so much for posting these great pics. I have a good friend here at work who used to fly F-4's, and I'll be sure to pass on the link here for him. I'm sure he'll love seeing the old birds still up and roaring down the runways. Though I never worked F-4s, it was the F-4C we had at Lowery AFB in the TAC Shack that was the first AF Figher I ever laid hands on. |

You just gotta love the \"Rhino\". I crewed Ds '78-'80. Followed that with 16s, six years on the \"Hog\" then 111s. I'll always be a phixer. |

Great looking jets! I especially love the single-seat configuration! Did you happen to get either of the pilots' names? A good friend of mine, and former 91 TFS Hog Driver flies F-4s at Holloman. Coach |

Sorry Coach I didn't get their names. My pilot was a civilian (I'm sure a retired Phlyer) and the other a LtCol...both were out of Tyndall. |
