| martin waldman , FL | One of the thrills of my life,i got to fly in the back seat of a F-4E from Eglin to Tinker and back with Capt Hank Biship in the front seat. 10/14/2010 @ 08:28 [ref: 31487] |
| sam , CA | Yes I did Bill, Nice, brings back a lot of memories.
We had 382 here at March. She is at the museum now. I will look for some photos and see what I can post. 10/12/2010 @ 10:26 [ref: 31470] |
| Bill Stapleton , NC | Sam did you see the pic I posted here of the F-4E we crewed when we were in Italy? 10/11/2010 @ 12:42 [ref: 31465] |
| sam , CA | Bill, yes those were good times. They TDY's to Spain were my favorite. But working on the mighty F-4 was my best experience. I will never forget that sound of the engines. I heard one back in March when an F-4E was taxing down the flight line at March ARB, Ca. It was performing at the Riverside airshow out here. It is a clean show bird that the Air Force fly's around for shows. It is a site to see. Brings back a lot of memories. 09/11/2010 @ 20:27 [ref: 29937] |
