| Bob Fernley, Nevada | I grew up in Las Vegas in the 60's, I remember the duck and cover drills we had in elementary school. Of course it would be right about that time an F-111 would decide to break the sound barrier and send everyone scattering for a desk! It's nice to see the F-111 again, I loved that plane growing up. 09/18/2007 @ 16:18 [ref: 6321] |
| Dave Phillips Phoenix, Arizona | I was stationed at Nellis working on tactics for the F4D in 1966-67, when the first block 24MC and 25MC F4D's were assigned to the origninal 4520th Fighter Weapons Wing. We also had a few F4C Wild Weasels, F-105F Wild Weasel and F-100's as well flying the Fighter Weapons school courses and OT&E missions. I returned to Nellis in 1975-78, working for a contractor on the ACMI range, and participated in the ACEVAL/AIMVAL test program, where F4's often got the best of F-14's and F-15's, and a few Agressor F5's. I also remember the arrival of the F4D's when they rotated back from Europe, it was like old home week for me, and I will always love the sound of their screaming J79's and moaning BLC on approach.

| Ken McIntire Methuen, Massachusetts | Was stationed at Nellis from January of 1968 until August of 1971. Originally assigned to the 428th TFS Bucaneers, then re-assigned to the 429th TFS Black Falcons when the aircraft started arriving. We were the first group of TFS crew-chiefs to man the new F-111A arriving from General Dynamics. Had a great time, loved being on the flightline, and going downtown to Vegas. Great group of guys. Also pulled a 30 day TDY at Cannon AFB, New Mexico to train some of their crew-chiefs. 07/07/2007 @ 03:53 [ref: 6043] |

| Darrell Baty , California |  I too was at Nellis AFB, when all the F-4D flew on Dec. 7th. I was assigned to the 474th AGS with the 428th Bucs. I was in the backseat of one of them fine birds. However I don't remember there being a crew chief in the backseat of every aircraft that flew that day. But that doesn't mean there wasn't. What a beautiful site that was to see that many lining the taxiway for takeoff clearance. 06/03/2007 @ 14:17 [ref: 5953] |
| Mike Rumore Tampa, Florida | Assigned to the 474th 77-80 in aircraft maintenance. Arrived just as the last F-111A was leaving, which hadn't flown in over a year, and the first F-4D was arriving. One of the neatest things I remember about Nellis was when the Wing Commander decided to launch every F-4D that was flyable. He called it TORA TORA day. 64 out of the wings 72 F-4s leaped into the air one at a time. A crew chief flew in the back seat of each aircraft. Then all 64 F-4Ds flew over in one formation. What a sight! HA,the good old days. Phantoms Forever!! 05/19/2007 @ 19:18 [ref: 5930] |
