0:30 Ha... looking at it like this you would imagine doing an emergency release of the stores was very popular due to the button being so weathered. But it is probably the button most pressed by visitors to the museum because it has colorful border around it
What a heavy chunky machine, everything about it is heavy and and moves heavily from buttons to surfaces to the way things look an, it is amazing people strapped into these things and actually fought in the air with it against other aircrafts
That cockpit is from a 906th TFS aircraft that I crewed on from 1987 through 1990. The 906th also has 2 aircraft on pedestals in front of AFLC command headquarters. It was formerly two Phantoms. Now it's a Phantom and Falcon...
@@ComdrStew they're not going to construct an individual cockpit for a movie. I question the knowledge of the people at the Museum. I was stationed at Wright-Patterson for 3 years... on top of that, the individual taking the video claimed that is an F-4U, which would be a Corsair. Not an F-4 Phantom II...
Interesting enough I found this on the museum site "This forward fuselage section of a Navy F-4B (BuNo 151424) was used in the ABC television series "Call to Glory" when cockpit scenes of the F-4 were needed. It was refurbished and marked as a USAF F-4D (S/N 66-7660) assigned to the 906th Tactical Fighter group at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio, during the 1980s. It was restored by museum volunteers and painted by members of the 906th Tactical Fighter Group". Thats honestly really cool that it was refurbished for use, cant imagine screaming along in that beast.
@@howlingsparrow2997 I worked WCS on F-4C, F-4D, F-4E, F-4F and F-4G aircraft. If this is a USAF phantom, it must an F-4C based on the size of the combining glass. I also noticed the landing gear handle and the tail hook handle are missing.
@@alanhess9306 Could be, however at the time when I made this comment I got my information directly from the museums site and this is what they had tot say about it. I’d take your word on it though given the knowledge you have on it first hand.
It's at the Dayton, Ohio Air Force Museum. It is just the cockpit section that was used in a movie, but it was made by McDonnell Douglas for the movie.
What? Did he say F4U? The F4U is the Chance-Vought Corsair propeller-driven Navy/Marine fighter from World War II. This is an F-4 Phantom II supersonic all-weather fighter bomber. Please know your aircraft, Sir. Good look around the cockpit, I'll add.
