Always liked the F-4. I grew up in Enid with the T-37s and T-38s from Vance buzzing all over the place so we pretty much got used to them but when some other aircraft flew in it caught our attention. The F-4 was one of those.

F4's do tend to draw some attention. They're not the quietest jets around

Havent got to touch one (yet), but one of our pilots flew'em in Nam, and Our Director of Maintenance Crew Chiefed F4's. Onea My all time faves. My times been limited to an F5 and P51 so far. Great Pic!

A couple of years ago I experienced an F-4 taking off at Tinker. I think it was a target tug, had an orange tail. That thing was so freaking loud. Seriously, I thought it rivaled a B-52 taking off.

Two JP4 Pratt and Whitney engines go a long way. Heck, back in my day when it was in service , the top altitude was classified. Big, heavy plane that had trouble against the NV migs, early in the war, but new tactics and weapons put a stop to that.
