LAST ARRIVALS Phantoms ,'71 suadron, German AF; Phantom Pharewell

[@jayv8786]

I was stationed at Zweibrucken AB(USAF) from '69-'72 and worked in the weather station for Air Weather Service. Witnessed these beasts day-in and day-out kick out of there after supplying weather observations to them. To this day I get goosebumps watching them in operation...amazing engines!

Great video, thanks for sharing. The F4 is one of the most beautiful fighters ever made together with the F-14. Lucky I have seen them quite often in the 80's when visiting Soesterberg AB.

[@kevinhoughton9134]

My favourite aircraft of all time.

[@arturberkl5979]

I was at Jagdgeschwader 74 "Mölders" in '88+'89 in Neuburg/Donau Bavaria. Best time in my live! We also had the Phantoms serving the second squadron together with Richthofen JG 71.

[@simongensheimer9564]

I served in Neuburg from 2008 - 2009. The Phantoms were much more badass then those two Eurofighters we had

Siempre ha sido mi idolo el F- 4 phantom, ya se va quedando anticuado, pero ahi quesa su historia y sus records. Cuarenta años dando que hablar.. Fantastico.

[@stevecurd9113]

Fantastic footage such a shame they were retired

[@SeanHollingsworth]

I do really miss seeing and hearing the F-4's in the skies.

[@MrSoeberg]

+Sean Hollingsworth We all do. ;-( Grtz.

[@frankhalvorsen2317]

Beautiful! Almost like beeing there with the good smell of jetfuel 😁

[@TheConvair58]

eindrucksvolle Bilder, schön in Szene gesetzt

[@markcosta9022]

One of the most versatile fighter Platforms in the world and this is the reason why they are still in the Boneyard in Arizona. The US has a fighter Gap right now you know we got plenty F-4 Phantoms waiting to serve in other roles.

[@hemi71x]

My years at Zweibrucken were from 74-76. Was the crew chief on Phantom 69-370 when it was assigned to the base.

AWESOME!

[@f16cowboy]

Geweldig! Dank voor deze hq

[@bankshot3122]

I worked on the F-4s and other fighters in the 60s when in the AF and later in the 80s when I worked with Boeing in Wichita, Ks. I to will miss the old birds.

[@mikecheaure9646]

PHANTOM com a Cruz de Ferro alemã, na sua lateral, dá até vontade de abraçá-lo de alegria.

[@michellevesque2130]

Wow, fabulous bird !

[@kiloechocharlie1342]

What was going over while they were taxiing?

[@marcusdenning1649]

Is anyone still flying these?

[@christianlebordelais]

Un avion qui a marqué son époque.....Belle prise.

[@barrettcraig963]

I did not know a Phantom could go vertical on take-of!! also if I'm not mistaken- their landing speed was 165kts. compared to the Intruders 125kts that is like landing on fire!

[@mikecheaure9646]

Why they need the drag chute not to burn out the brakes

[@34500dauphin]

Wunderbar!!!!!!

[@sanfranciscobay]

In Full Afterburner, the two J79 Turbine Engines burn 20 gallons per second. That's $100 of fuel per second or $6,000 of fuel in one minute.

[@t.c.x.s.t.x.2877]

[@johnmorykwas2343]
