talking to Phantom phans the F-4J Showtime is still hi on the wanted list in all scales

the F-14 maybe a Top Gun favorite but
F-4s flew with Thunderbirds, Blue Angels
the most seen plane in Vietnam war,
and several made for TV movies

Um, not going to tell you how or what to post, but if not for Vulgar you would be the only one posting in this thread. I think 95% of the posts are yours. I admire your persistence, but do you plan to post here multiple times a day until the F-4 is in stores? If so that's your call, but if you could let us know it would save people time when checking the board. Even if the Phantom were a go today, it would still be many months before it was available. So, if we are going to have a constructive "sticky" for ten months just give us the heads up. Thanks

The Collings Foundation is going to be offering an F-4 Phantom training program experience to any FAA Licensed Pilot (student pilot certificates excluded) with a current FAA Medical Certificate.

The experience will cost $9,800, and lasts at least 2 days for two people.

What a nice Christmas present to give someone. Kagnew, I think you are qualified, right?

KAGNEW · Post by **KAGNEW** » Fri Dec 23, 2005 7:02 pm

yep!
yes i am except i don't have the extra $10,000.00 right now.
maybe i can take up a collection. He! He!

Phantom Phactoid

with all my research it looks like the all time F-4 ace is Israel's F-4E pilot Colonel Iseral Baharav, with 14 kills
