301飛行隊 F-4 ファントム 記憶の中に生き続ける " We are still alive in your memory " 301sq F-4 Phantoms 

I know they're expected to be replaced by F-35s soon but please don't destroy them when they're replaced, they're so iconic.

I will never not want to hear the sound of two j79s or see perfectly maintained phantoms going strong 45 years after they were built. Flawless. Thank you.

I 'm sorry, I got something in my eye again. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Just love the Japanese phantoms with the beautiful schemes!

I have 26 years experience on the Phantom as a hydraulics mechanic. Homestead, Clark, Korat, and Bergstrom. Got my 9 level and loved every minute of it! I salute ALL the JASDF mechanics for doing what they do! So much work to do but NOTHING more rewarding!!! Even did a joint exercise with the JASDF flying out of Chitose AB back in the late 80's. Very fond memories!

I was born and raised near this base now living in U.S. Lots of memories watching F-4 and F-104 flying low and dirty for landing over my town forty-some years ago. Those scene and sound stay in my heart forever.

The Phantom is such a gorgeous aircraft. Japan, thank you for keeping them flying into early 2019. They've served a good 40 years, at least. We can let them rest now.

My favorite jet fighter Powerful and beautiful F-4 is lgendary

I never tire of the way you film and put together these videos about Phantoms.

Ah, yes. What a treat and delight to see this today. It brought a smile to my face, and calmness in my heart, to watch these beautiful birds fly. A welcome relief from all that is happening around me. I am truly grateful for all that you do. Arrigato.

wow seeing a phantom flying in 2020, that's like seeing a T-Rex walking down the street. Its amazing. It's an absolute gorgeous aircraft.

きっと古いだけど やっぱり カッコいい。J79の音って 大好き。おビデオ ありがとうございます。フランス人 の飛行機のファンからよろしく。

In the 1970 s as a kid loved watching the phantom in the Yorkshire dales. Never ever forget hearing & seeing my first jet.

Such a beautiful Airplane. A truly no nonsense design. Looks stunning 60 years after it was introduced.

Not just alive but in a very good condition too. I can see hardworking people are behind this. Keep up the good work.

This plane *was* the USAF of my childhood, except for the rising suns on the sides. Bravo, folks. I am glad to know Phantoms are still out there working every day.

Im a big fan of F-4s worked in the F 4 engine shop at Homestead AFB and Udorn RTAFB 69-71

ファントム爺さんが岐阜でも見られなくなるのは悲しいなぁ。でも老朽化してるから仕方がない。ファントム爺さん、長年の防空任務ご苦労様でした。安らかに眠れ。ファントムよ、永遠なれ。

I'm still alive also. Been in love with these old jets for decades, Very nice how you capture them behind trees and taxing behind grass and shrub gives a contrast of tech and nature it's beautiful.

オープニング、爆音と共にハンガーの窓に映る影。 これからの始まる映像にワクワクする瞬間です。 前後のフラップを下ろし旋回するファントム。元が艦載機なのでとても絵になりますね。ファントムで最も絵になる姿だと思ってます。 素晴らしいです。。。

It's hard for me to realize that when I was lucky enough to get a summer job at the massive McDonnell Aircraft plant in St Louis in 1973 they were still building new F-4 Phantoms

Thank you so much for this version with the sound of the engines, and the music adds a lot, too. All good things must come to an end. The Phantom was a reliable workhorse for many of the world's air forces for decades. It was the last time the U.S. Air Force, Navy and Marines all used the same plane, and it's probably safe to say that no other plane will ever be as widely used, for so many different types of missions, by so many nations. Its pilots loved it, it has nothing left to prove, and it can retire with dignity.

Worked on Phantoms for more than twenty years when I was in the USAF. Love these aircraft. Did anyone else notice that these have the "newer" 20mm cannon nose but maintain the "older" leading edge wing flaps vs the "newer" leading edge slats ?

F4も推力変えたらキュッって音するのかーって勝手に1人で納得してたらこれBGMだったのか… カメラでの追跡を止めるタイミングやカメラアングルとか毎回本当に最高です

Your slow motion footage is always so graceful. The real-time footage really conveys the brute force of the Phantoms. The landing sequences were impressive. Your work is always worthy of appreciation. Thank you as always 1-300.

Phantoms are faster than a lot of newer designs, proving that with enough thrust you can make an elephant go supersonic.

These look immaculate, they look like they rolled off the production line only yesterday.

Wow, the sound of those birds taxiing, AB takeoff and landing... bring back so many memories of the years I worked on these babies. That had to be one HUGE, expensive lens of the planes flying!!!! Really, really appreciate this video. Thank you!!!

Best aircraft ever. Respect to Japan from Greece

Long live JASDF! I lived in Japan for 4 years as a USAF dependent. 1969-1973. Itazuke to Grant Heights/Fuchu. Followed the draw-down. Great nation. Great people. It will be sad to see the retirement of the F-4 Phantom II. Put them on a pedestal somewhere. They deserve it.

Hot damn, I'm speechless! The Japanese treat the F-4 like we (USA) treat our B-52. Something so good that they can't just replace.

Wow...it's been so long since I've seen a Phantom on active duty. Beautiful. 第301戦術戦闘飛行隊のおかげで.

The F-4 was the first JSF. It looks like they are flying an E variant with the integrated gun. I have memories of F-4's flying over the house at Millington TN when I was a kid in the 70's. Just like the B-52's, the pilots are younger than the air frames.

Phanton rocks. Mithycal airplane . Thanks so much. Arigato.✌️🇮🇹🙏🏻😃😃😃

この美しい機体を見に行きたい、航空祭でひとことのお疲れも。hope we could see these amazing phantom this or next year in airshow，for saying goodbye to them。

The good ole F-4 it's been apart of my life since childhood. Nice to see them still working hard.

こんなにキレイな飛行機が日本の空を守り続けてくれたことに感謝 今やってる1／４８スケールファントムに愛を込めて作りたいF１５F2現用のF35もいいけどこれから最高のファントムをやる

The Best of the Mitsubishi PHANTOMS..🙏🏻🙏🏻👏🏻👏🏻✊🏻✊🏻🌹🌹🤗🤗

Wonderful music and visuals! Thanks for these summer images!

アレンジしたアコギのスローテンポ、実によく出来ていますね🎵センスを感じて、何度も見ています🎵

Beautiful old planes that still fit to operate :D

I love how agressive the Phantom looks. As cool as modern day stealth fighters are, the F-4 is such an iconic and awesome plane. I wish it wasn't so difficult for demilitarized airworthy airframes to get in civilian hands

Has anyone else noticed how perfectly spotless clean Japanese Phantoms are? Not one oil or exhaust stain on the characteristic spots? Just perfect!

Beautiful F-4s. Love from India to our greatest ally in the east.

I never would have imagined that the F-4 Phantom II would still be in existence well into the 21st Century!!! I am reliving my childhood, I remember seeing these F-4s operate from a U.S. Air Force base near my home. I will be very sad when they decommission these amazing aircraft!! These are probably the cleanest and the most well maintained aircraft I have ever seen!!! Please save the F-4 Phantoms!!! There is SO much history behind this great aircraft!!! Thanks for sharing!!!

This literally brought a lump to my throat and tears to my eyes. IAF structural mechanic - mechanical fitter tech. grade 12. Love from Israel. קורנסים לנצח

Thank you my friend. I missed your Phantoms. Thank you for keeping them alive for us

Their rest was well earned after 40 years of service, and they remain pristine in our memories. Thank you for a last, amazing Phantom video, 1_300!

F4 Phantom was the jet of choice in Madrid Spain, 1977. Torrejon Air Force Base, where my family was stationed in those 70's years...

The Phantom will live phorever in our hearts. ❤️ ファントムは私たちの心に永遠に生きます。❤️

Still look so menacing. Didn't know they were still in service over there. So iconic. Never thought I'd see a J79 engine that didn't smoke (USN VX-4 1979-1981). Very cool JSDF!

Beautifully shot video! Fantastic to see the Phantom still flying and looking as amazing as ever!

After 50 years of newer designs, the F-4 Phantom can still walk off and leave an F-15 Eagle at sea level. This is an outstanding airplane! The upkeep of those shown here are awesomely, unbelievably, clean, and well maintained!

Great video and... Phantoms Phorever! 👍👍 As a Vietnam War era USAF F-4E crew chief (1970-1974) I'm shocked to see these Japanese versions are 'hard wing' models. They don't have the excellent leading edge slats modification that was added to USAF 'E' models in 1971 IIRC. Replacing the original leading edge flaps (as shown in this video) with slats significantly improved the heavy Phantom's mediocre maneuverability and made it formidable in a dogfight. In fact, the USAF retrofitted all existing F-4E models in the early 1970s. Anyway, glad the fast Phantoms are still flying in 2020! 😁😄😊

Good to see these glorious old birds flying. Takes a TRUE fighter pilot to drive a Phantom. There's not a modern bird out there that looks like it's out to do some damage quite like the F-4 does.

„Air Defense Diesel“ („Luftverteidigungs-Diesel“) is what we used to call them in Germany... referring to their farm-equipment-like appearance and of course: the black trail of smoke😅 Fondly remembering Phantoms low-passing in formation over my school yard regularly as there was an airbase nearby. Goose bumps just thinking of it... that was 17 years ago now.... the Luftwaffe retired the F4 in 2013 🙁

Always remember Comrades, skills are more important than the tools. The Chinese forces are just show. From🇮🇳

I was stationed with the 1st Marine Air Wing in Nam, 68-69 and saw these beautiful planes a lot and they’ve always been my favorite jet. The shape of them are unique and cool as hell looking.

Thank you Japan for providing a habitat for a critically endangered bird. Beautiful to watch!

Awesome as usual. I especially love your Phantom videos. I had the great honor of working on F-4s in the USAF before our squadron transitioned to the F-15. The Phantom will always hold a special place in my heart and I think most aviation fans around the world would agree. Thank you for sharing your amazing talent with us.

I miss my flying and in todays crazy climate your videos bring me calmness, thank you.

So glad they are taking good care of them by far one of the most beautiful majestic aircraft thank you 301st

The F4s are the most beautiful planes ever. I love those planes. They are old but they look so mean.

They were with us at Clark AB Republic of the Philippines. I was in the 1961 Comms, Camp O'Donnell, Republic of the Philippines High Frequency Transmitter Site, 1989-1991 .

令和２年度もまだ飛んでいるのですね。３月で退役と思い見に行く準備をしていたのですが コロナの影響で県境を跨げず残念に思っていました。 ぜひこれからもカエル達の元気な姿を撮ってください！

Thinking about these being retired and never flown again makes me tear up. Not just saying that either I actually have tears in my eyes.

So cool that you fellas still use the F-4's. bit of a shame you never got any F-14's, would of loved to see them still around.

Immaculately turned out fleet.My favourite fighter jet.Nice to see them still flying🌞👌!

Seeing these Phantoms still out and about reminds me of when I saw the USS Wisconsin and Missouri during Desert Storm back in '90 - amazing...

We fly 34 of them in Greece the best looking aircraft ever built

Amazing vid... Been there in Oct'18, miss the place so much... I had to cancel my second Japan trip ;( Samurai Phantoms Phorever!

I was Phantom Phixer for 2 years in Atsugi Japan. Great place

No matter what people say the phantom II’s are beautiful aircraft’s. Have seen the F-4EJ Kai’s in person and they’re great magnificent machines for modern standards.

I'm really happy to see so many Phantom-lovers. 301sq is the first and last intercept squadron equipped with the Phantom in the JASDF. They will commence transition to the F35 in this year. Air Development and test Wing will be the last user of her in Japan.

Amazing camera work 1-300. We are still alive, keep this essential videos of F4 Phantoms coming.😷

I cant tell if the heat rising off the runway making it blurry or my own tears of joy

Gotta love the old smoke and thunder of those old war horses. One of the last planes my dad worked on before retiring from the AF.

My step father worked on F-4's as a crew chief with the D.C. Air National Guard. A friend and I were fortunate enough to get some time in the simulator. Phantoms are tough looking fighters. I always wanted to be a fighter pilot but my eyesight wasn't good enough.

Thanks forever.

I remember being a young kid in the late 70's, just outside Houston near JSC, when these magnificent and very loud planes would take off ( You would hear them for several minutes, before they even flew over you) from Ellington field. It was my first introduction to warplanes...and I was hooked..... At the time the blue angels were also using A-4 Skyhawks for their demonstrations...… I would ask permission from my dad ( which he gave), to climb onto our 2 story house we had..... just to see the airshow... From my vantage point I could see the whole show as none of the development that there is now at this moment was there... it's was straight field... all the way to the airbase.... Great times.

Banzai! Long live the King! Thank you Japan for keeping one of the greatest aircraft ever flying and actually working a job while doing so. I grew up around Phantoms in the late 60's early 70's and have loved them all my life.

A great bird!~ Worked on them for 3 years as a crewchief in 1967-1970. Loved it!

素敵な飛行機ですね。

Man, i think about all the Phantom models I had as a Kid, along with B58 Hustlers!!!

Beautiful beautiful beautiful. Amazing my friend

記念塗装も良いですが、シンプルな実働部隊の塗装は、とても機能美を感じます。

i'm glad i found this i always liked seeing Phantoms in flight or just in general. they might be the new high tech toy everyone likes but, i'll always love seeing anything of the Phantom forever a favorite.

F-14 Tomcat guy all day but there’s just something about the F- 4 man. One of the most gorgeous planes every built. I sleep better at night knowing the are still leaving a trail of smoke somewhere in the sky.

I once got a 2 hour ride in the back seat of an F-4G. Unbelievable. Definitely an E-Ticket ride for those of you old enough to understand.

One word to describe these beauties = BEAST.

こんなに綺麗に撮影、編集をされているのだから、うp主はファントムを愛しているのでしょうね。 うp主ほどではありませんが、俺もファントム大好きです！！

Oh man that is one lusty looking airplane! F-4 is such a stud. Rock on Japan, you guys look awesome flying the 4! With much respect from a friend in the USA.

F-4 Phantom and Mig-21, iconic fighters of Cold War

Literally can’t stop hitting the replay button, thank you so much for this awesome footage! 🦏🔥

Thank you so much for keeping your Phantoms phlying! The first six years of my USAF service was as a radar technician on F-4E and F-4G Phantoms. They are the most beautiful fighters ever built!

I think Iranian Air Force still use them too, F4 phantoms and F14 tomcats and they are under sanction for 40 years so it’s amazing how they keep them operating ! 最近の戦闘機にないキャラクターがありますね！

Once beautiful ALWAYS beautiful! To see Phantoms still active is a real treat. Best wishes from the Land of Oz.

I’ve always loved the phantom one of the coolest aircraft ever built glad people are still flying them

When I was a young boy, I saw the Navy Blue Angels flying the F-4. This plane made an impression on me!

Awesome footage of the Phantom and enjoyed every minute. :) The JASDF deserve a lot of credit for how well they maintain and present these birds.
