F-4B Phantom II Over March AFB Riverside CA

[Cpt. D. Striker Metcalf]

This is the Virtavia F-4 Phantom II with the new re-paint now featured on Simviation I grabbed today! Too bad there is a limit on screenshots here cause you should see my other shots of this aircraft I took today! Outstanding & Shout Out's To All Our Vietnam Vets! Simper Fi!









Thanks 4 viewing! 8-)

Great shots! 8-)

I still think the PhantomII is a sexy beast!!! 8-)

Of course I'm sorta partial being I grew up very close to their "birthplace"  Rode my bike to the fences many a time to watch them being strapped to the test pads.

When they ran 'em up and lit the burners it almost was breathtaking.

Glad you like the shots U4EA! I guess I'm sorta partial too, the 1st military jets I fell in love with were the Phantoms, Intruders & Marine Harriers! 8-)

Nice shots.

I saw the livery in downloads but the thumbnail doesn't do it justice. You did.

Looks fantastic!  My father-in-law was a back seater on those back in the day.  I finally got to see one fly at the air show earlier this year, such a cool plane.  8-)

Glad you like them mfaulisi, and it was really bugging me why the re-paint shows another version on the site and I have this one and so I looked again closer at my files and found that I didn't load the re-paint texture file correctly and now it's working right. So it turns out this is NOT the new repaint version. Sorry my bad! 8-)

First for me too!  The noise and exhaust trail at take-off hooked me.  They have a very distinct sound, especially on landing approach.

My gradeschool (now closed) used to have the 3-mile marker on the church roof for KSTL back in the day. 

We'd ride our bikes down Graham Road (now N. Hanley) cut across the trainyard to Banshee then sit and watch Phantoms all day long in the summertimes.

Hang out by the same fence nowadays for any extended time and you's gonna get some sort of intervention!
