Never gets old. I love F-14's, 15's, 16's and 18's, but as a kid growing up in the 60's and 70's, the F-4 Phantom will always be what a fighter jet is to me. Badass. Beautiful and terrifying. "All shall love me and despair". An enormous flying shark.
No matter which model, the sound of of the Phantoms engines is uniquely distinctive. I was a an F-4 crew chief in the 70s and will never forget that sound.
I absolutely love the F-4 ... I spent a year in South East Asia in the early 1970's watching these guys take off on combat missions, some never to return. A magnificent warrior and a beautiful airplane!
In the late 1960's, early 70's my uncle Jack would sometimes go on leave from Vietnam where he piloted the F4 phantom, he didn't talk about it, he would only be home for couple days, holidays, I was 10 years old and in awe, thank you for the video, brings back great memories with family on the holidays. 🇺🇲
Been around a lot of planes, been around a long time, but no other to me gives me the impression that "I am going to hit you in the face until you yield" like this one. Truly remarkable.
I spent more than a few nights on the F-4 ramp while stationed at Clark AB Philippines in the ‘70s. The Phantom is still my favorite plane after all these years.
Thanks for the memories. This brings back so much from more than 55 years ago. We received our first group of F4-C Phantoms at Holloman AFB in the mid 1960 a few years before we shipped the complete 366 TFW to Vietnam. It was so exciting to hear and see these then and now it is great to see and hear these now. Thanks.
In 1979 I went to Career Day with my Dad at my high school and went straight to the Navy recruiting station and told him I wanted to fly this plane. The recruiter looked at me, then my transcripts, then said “Son, your eyesight isn’t good good enough to fly it and your grades aren’t good enough to navigate. Next...” In retrospect I appreciated his honesty.
Stationed at Danang in '68 and the F4s taking off with full power will absolutely break your eardrums. I remember the howl of them turning at high speed.
Legendary aircraft. The Turkish Air Force is doing this job.
After all these years, it's still one of the coolest planes....

Had a buddy who serviced them, said they would come back from a mission with the paint blistered off the nose. Beast.

What a beautiful aircraft the Phantom is.
