That radome is worn almost down to bare fiberglass. What's with the windshield framing? Is it unpainted, painted white or just heavily peeled camo?

Chek Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 I recall spending a lot of time identifying this F-4E Phantom a few years ago, but can't lay hands on the research now. Pilot's name on the distinctive red painted canopy rail is Major GD Bushey. Can anybody more organised than me help with the serial? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From the same series: note both a/c have gun pods on the o/b pylons. Jari cmayer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chek Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 That's it, thanks. I found it in my own files a couple of hours ago but hadn't got round to calling off the search. But thanks all the same for the back up. cmayer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlbertD Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 You know, you guys are making it really hard to have any shelf space. Do you know how big a 32nd Phantom is? LSP_K2, cmayer and John1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
