I served in Vietnam from March 1969 to May 1969 as an infantry grunt in I Corp out of Danang. In mid March at noon we spotted a group of probably VC humping rations and ammo from the coastal rivers to the mountains up a deep valley. We called in an artillery strike initially and followed that up with an aerial strike which turned out to be to F4s. The aircraft unloaded several 1,000 lb bombs and followed that up with napalm and several gun runs . We sent a patrol into the valley to do a damage assessment. All they found were body parts. Bad day for the VC.

I was a weapons Specialist on the F4-E in 1968 at Eglin AFB, Fla. The E model was the first and only F4 that had a 20mm Gatling gun mounted in the nose! Six thousand rounds a minute but only carried around 300. This was due to weight restrictions and melting too many gun barrels if fired too long. It was a precursor to the A10 30mm set up. What a fantastic aircraft which could still be flying today! Great model and flight skills. Thanks for the fond memories

@thelightersideofrc 15 дней назад

@alanwhiteside410 4 дня назад

I’am a retired Flight mechanic from McDonnell Douglas / Boeing in St.Louis. I’ve been to Eglin AFB many times for flight testing but with the F-15 brand new plane from the factory from STL. I also used to fire the 20mm gun on the F-15 at the factory in STL though we only fired the gun every other block of A/C so not that often, they don’t fire the gun now days the Air Force does that when they receive the A/C.

@@vimfuego8827 F4E for looks and armament. F4J had the best avionics of any air to air phantom. Its sad the F4 never lived up to its full potential in U.S servies. The best F4''s currently are flown by the Greek Airforce. Roomer has it they can shoot any U.S missile that the U.S has exported and has the same radar as early F15's with lookdown shoot down capabilty something that the U.S air force phantoms never had.

@x-man5056 19 дней назад

Until they have been at sea for a few weeks. When flying off a carrier they get covered with soot from other aircraft maneuvering on the flight deck, then get rained on and black streaks everywhere and that's not even counting the hydraulic leaks. F4 was a hydraulic fluid sprinkler. The RC plane would be more realistic if owner could make black smoke from the engines.

Beginning in 1984 I was stationed at MCAS (Marine Corps Air Station) El Toro, CA. My Squadron was VMFP-3. We flew the RF-4B (Reconnaissance) F-4 with deployments predominantly in the Western Pacific (Asia). Although we were transitioning to the F-18 and relocating most of El Toro to Miramar (Fighter Town, aka "Top Gun") in 1993 following congressional decision to close El Toro and decommission the F-4 it remains my favorite aircraft and is truly one of the greatest to fly. This RC model is astonishing to watch. With that much attention to detail and visual flight ability, I might have to purchase one myself. Semper Fi!

Back in the 70's we lived close to homestead air force base. My daily ritual if I finished my homework in time, was to see the Phantoms take off and land. You've done a great job recreating the look of the F-4, except you have to find a way to get power plants to belch out black soot like the monstrous J79 GE 2. 👍😉

Just what i was thinking,,worked on these in the RAF in the 70`s great aircraft ....

@dwmzmm 20 дней назад

@@1tonyboat My introduction to the F4 Phantoms was in December 1966 when we'd just moved to Niceville, FL (dad was in USAF and was in his final years of service before retirement) and we happened to live right where military aircraft flew low overhead preparing to land at Eglin AFB which was a few miles away. These F4's (along with many other USAF aircrafts) would pass overhead very low literally every few minutes apart daily. The Phantoms immediately stood out due to it's unusual design of the wings and rear stabilizers and, of course, the noise of those twin engines. For me, from that time until November 1969 (when we had to move again) it was like having our own airshow daily 24/7. Really miss living there.
