66-7640 —

How old is this picture, Habujet? According to Joe Baugher's web site, 66-7640 went to the boneyard January 1990.

Here we see her in happier times, attached to the Alabama ANG and launching from Nellis AFB for a practice bombing mission. (Note the Mk 75 25 pound practice bomb under the starboard wing!)

DOES ANYONE HAVE PICS OF MISSISSIPPI 186 ARG BIRD?

The burner is lit & it;s time to go.

Sometimes an aircraft just has to look menacing to do the job. The F-4 was that kind of aircraft. So fortunate to have a number on display around the country including here at Tinker. Beautiful just does not describe that plane.

Used to watch those Phantoms take off from Da Nang Airbase on night missions to the north. Afterburners glowing for a few minutes after takeoff was something for a young soldier to see!

I was one of the guys to work on the first F-4's when the AF got them in Feb 1963. We got 27 F-4B models & trained on them until the first F-4C showed up on 22 Nov 63. 4453rd.com
