Always been partial to the F4 Phantom 2. My father worked on Avionics for the F4 for years. We were stationed in Yuma when the last of the F4's were retired. We all stood and watched as they took off to the bone yard. My dad and his Squadron all took a bus to Tuson and filmed the landing and celibration. I still have the VHS tape. I have a copy of the original photo seen below of the Two Phantoms going verticle. These pics are all taken at MCAS Yuma. Pictures and models of the F4 along with Squadron memrabillia decorated our home growing up. After the F4's were gone my fatehr joined VMFA 101 with the A4's untill they were retired a few years later, followed by the new F18's. I look this evening to see if I can find pics of me as a kid in the cockpit of one of the SH Phantoms. Also have several original photos my father took in flight as well as others.

Cool, my dad will enjoy these pics! Although he was on the team that designed and built the radar at TI he never saw the plane in person except for the nosecone. All testing was done in Beechcraft and C130's. Once it was perfected it was turned over to the AF for install and final tuning. We went to the air show at Ft. Worth JRB, he was there a short time when it was Carswell, and got a pic of him next to the F4 on permanent display there. We heard lots of stories after that, of course the whole time he worked on it at TI after he was out of the AF it was classified and I never knew what he had worked on until he retired many years later and he was given a couple of framed pics of F4's.
