McDonnel Douglas F-4C Phantom

McDonnell Douglas F-4C Phantom
I came upon this F-4C while looking for a way back the F-111.  It was sitting there without the fence and presented me with a chance to try the low camera position.

This is the actual aircraft flown by Col. Robin Olds, a WW II Ace.  He, along with the weapons officer, Lt. Stephen Croker, shot down two Migs in one day, May 20, 1967 during the Vietnam War.  It, the F-4, cold carry twice the bomb payload of the WW II B-17.  It served in air-to-air and air-to-ground roles.

The Air Force had around 2600 of them.  The Navy and Marines also few the F-4.
