| Ron Fisher , TX | I don't believe the Israeli F-4 aircraft below are 'S' Models. The radomes are similar to the USAF F-4E models, and they are carrying USAF style inboard wing pylons. Additionally, the Hi-band ECM antennas are missing from the upper inlet duct. 12/06/2007 @ 10:37 [ref: 18816] |
| SN Prickitt , FL | I don't mean to be petty, but one of the pictures below of an F-4S is NOT a Navy bird but a proud MARINE aircraft. Since I was in the squadron that took care of this awesome machine from 1984 - 1988, I would know if I was in the Navy or MARINES. Also, the designation right on the A/C is VMFA-312 MARINES.

| John Owens Scheller, IL | Hi;
I worked on the F4 from 1971 to 1974 when they were transferred to Yuma, Az. I was fortunate to have been in the Com/Nav shop and worked with a great bunch of Marines; Crane, Puca, Butler, Munoz, Top Sgt Ditto and the memorable warrant Officer Franz etc. It was an honor and a thrill to have been one of the many who had the chance to be around this great bird during her heydey. Whenever I think of my 4 years in the corps and I still have great memories of my time with Vmfat 201. John Owens 07/07/2006 @ 18:58 [ref: 13674] |

Remember "Walk the Dog" when they flew so low and slighty tilted back that you thought they might fall. VMFAT 201 was the worlds largest F4 Phantom squad before we sent most to Yuma in 74. Tripple nuts hanger queen had to be proud. 08/19/2005 @ 09:55 [ref: 11028] |
| C.Jay Rosenthal , MT | Work on F-4S's from '82 to '86 with VMFAT-101 in yuma.

| James Granlund , OH | I just thought that would let all of you know that an F-4S is now at MAPS Air Museum in Canton, Ohio. If you want to check it out go to the website which is www.mapsairmuseum.org. I hope you like it. 12/18/2004 @ 17:19 [ref: 8895] |
| Dean Demmery , NC | 27 F-4S at Cherry Point MCAS have been saved as the drone program that they were storage for has been cancelled and they have been made available for "adoption" to museums. 03/29/2003 @ 15:26 [ref: 6393] |
| Russell Holt Atascadero, CA | Worked F4/B/Js from 1968/1972 USMC Sqds,VMFAT-201 at Cherry Point N.C. and VMFA-531 at MCAS El Toro as a eng. & fuel systems tech. Loved then and now the all to much. Any out in this era email me. Would be great to hear from any body. 01/11/2003 @ 00:50 [ref: 6254] |
| Ross Chappell , KS | Easily the most capable F-4 the Marines/Navy flew. When the F-4S went away so did the capability of having a over Mach 2 aircraft that could also haul 16,000 lbs of bombs. These were basically F-4J's with advanced electronics and slatted wings for greater maneuverability. As with all F-4's they could do everything great. The true definition of a multi-role aircraft. 10/10/2002 @ 13:49 [ref: 5867] |
