| Jeff Weddle , IN | Worked C's, D's, and RF's at Kadena from Summer 76 to Spring 78. First bird and favorite bird of my whole career. Whenever I pass an air museum where one is on display, I usually stop to walk around it at least one time. Many fond memories. 02/29/2008 @ 07:02 [ref: 19813] |
| Lou English , MI | U.S. Navy here...Trained with VF 101 Det. A in Florida on the F4-H as an Aviation Fire Control Tech (target aquisistion; tracking and missle control).Brand new stuff then. Joined VF 102 Diamondbacks just in time for the Cuban Missle Crises; Lot of screwing aronnd with VF-33; who thought they were cool because they flew the F8-U Crusader ( Four 20mm canons y'know; and only one guy in the cockpit ). Did a thing by stretching a wire across the heads up display glass so our guys gould have some sort of reference for ground support...The Aussies painted red kangeroos on our drop tanks...Sitting in the cockpit doing a systems check and pickling a live sidewinder that some B-B stacker forgot to remove ( a short deafening blast; followed by lots of smoke; and a deathly silence )!!!!...someone had the thing capped with a blast diffuser.. Anyway; in it's time. the Phantom was a 'killer' high altitude interceptor; pressed into a ground support role in Vietnam; where both the men and machine made it happen. 01/02/2008 @ 18:46 [ref: 19124] |
| Jim Gagnon Newnan, GA | Worked F4D's at Torrejon Air Base Spain, 613th TFS. It sat very low to the ground and I was forever hitting my head or my back on the speed brakes, access panels or something. Changing the battery on the F4 was one hell of a job. It could carry an aweful lot of ordinance but it wss not maintenance friendly. I loved the F-105 (Thud)where you could at least walk under the wing without getting mortally wounded. THUDS forever!!!

| Rich , ID | Broke in on the D. Worked Inertial Nav & WRCS at Kadena in 77-79. What a plane!!! My knees and back are bad due greatly to the D's, RF's, and Weasels. But wouldn't change a thing. Loved working on them and have great memories to last a lifetime. There will never be another "flying brick". 11/08/2007 @ 17:56 [ref: 18465] |
| Denny Nolden, MSGT USAF RET Daytona Beach, FL | I crewed a lot of these. RF's, C's and D's with the 67TRW Bergstrom Tx (66-67) 432 TFRW (Udorn 67-68) Then with the 475th TFW Misawa Japan, Taegu and Kunsan Korea 68-71. By the early 70's we were challenged to find any that did not have bullet or shrapnel scars. But, damn they would fly with nearly everything broke and they came home after abuse that would have caused other planes to quit flying. And it had a "Scare Factor" It was just a mean looking Machine! Intimidating to anyone on the business end of it.
Forever Proud to have been a PHANTOM PHIXER! 09/07/2007 @ 09:45 [ref: 17863] |
| Jeff Powell Medford, NJ | Hey Henry, I was in the 430th from March 1978 until Sept. 1981, as a crew chief. I worked swings mostly. I don't remember to many of the weapons guys. I had a great time out there. I joined the NJ Air National Guard after that and continued crewing F-4's. As much as we pissed and moaned about working on F-4's I still loved it, and miss it.

| Dave Phillips Phoenix, AZ | To: Ron Clark
Ron, do you happen to recall any of the tail numbers of the aircraft in your photo of George AFB, 1967? They appear to have clean Brunswick Radomes, and I would be interested to know their identities. Thanks Dave 08/23/2007 @ 17:19 [ref: 17732] |
