Very interesting comparison, Bryan; thank you. Couldn't see your first post attachements (ramp shot). As for the state of maintenance, all options on my next...
You probably would not see all that much difference in the digital image in the 5MP range for close up detail. My current digital camera is a 2.1 MP unit and...
Well, I've seen the check list cards our guys use for the FCF after a PDM and/or SLEP and there is an optional check for max mach run... Sounds fun... ;-) ...
Supersonic glider!! LOL Good one!! I'll tell that to the guys that had this twice on the same bird... The TO 2-9 has the diagram about the ramp movement. Was...
Usually (probably always) we would have to do a mach run on an FCF after an engine change or major rework. Part of the checklist was to confirm the ramps...

Thank you for your reply. From what I hear they use mach 1+ speeds often here. And that's in order to get from your shelter to the area the CGI vectored you...
I have experienced both high and low speed compressor stalls in the F4. Very few, because in general I found the J79 to be very resistant to compressor...

my 2 cents the maintenance crews on the F-4s could repair all the systems down to the component level, WCS, COMM/NAV, ECM etc, this required long tech schools,...
Good God! That was certainly more than I expected for a reply!!! Thanks for sharing the experience! Great story. (I bet it didn't felt that great to you back...
Kostas, While I have never been in a jet that had a stall, I have been in several Helos that had stalls. I suspect the effect is the same. The first time was...
Last installment tonight. I has to scan at 3000 DPI on the Flatbed to get the same image size as I got from 1500 DPI on my Nikon scanner. The shot is a real...

Around all the details you've seen so far is a real Phantom! Small parts end up in boxes or remain scattered around (picture 1). Finally they will get sucked...
Hi, I aways wondered what the difference was between these two. Can anyone enlighten me? I remember hearing calls about x lbs over y lbs, or something like...

Amazing the aircraft stayed as intact as it did. Almoat as good as the VMFP-3 RF-4B in Iwakuni in the early 8o's that had some perceived or real failure on...
... Look carefully...see the D model radome poking out front/under the near jet? That would indicate this was a LORAN drop. The D model guys gave the countdown...
Bird, That's it exactly. And the reason for the high fuel flow tape and counter splits, as you know, was because although the fuselage bags had both high...
Cool story and pics Bozo. Glad it had a happy ending. Had a squadron mate in 1983 that ran one out of gas in Denmark. He was holding the fuel tank check switch...
