I had a chance to see the F4 Phantom in flight when I was in Pampanga (nearby is the Clark Air Base when it was still operating as a US airbase) and heard its sonic boom. It was beautiful sight seeing this magnificent fighter jet

Not to deter anyone's love of the f4 but it is actually a mess of an airplane. Wings and elevators bent to make up for it's aerodynamic deficiencies. Relatively poor dogfighter. SAM's locked onto it astonishingly well because of the position of the engines. Compared to the big 4, the 14, 15, 16 and 18, it's a turd. But it's an airplane so it's cool.
that's what you get if you regularly maintain your equipment, and that applies to any other thing as well

The Phantoms used by Japan are more for bombing and reconnaissance roles but still very capable, for example, they are much faster than say a present day F-18 fighter. Unfortunatley, Japan plans on replacing all F-4's by 2020 with the F-35's
@colin.k62635 жыл бұрын
@Ben White they are beautiful planes as stated above and will be missed sporting their awesome paint schemes often customized by their squadrons. a luxury the F-35's cannot partake in without their stealth capabilities being jeopardized as they are painted with certain type of pain
@andrewleonard4755 жыл бұрын
@@colin.k6263 What difference does it make if it can't have a cool paint job? The F35 still has a lot more capabilities than the F4, therefore the F35 is more benificial to Japan. I'd rather buy a car that is much safer and highly advanced with a dull, boring paintjob than buy a shitty, dangerous one just because it looks cool.

It was a workhorse in Nam. The F4E came out around 1969. It was believed that this jet could not compete against the MiG 21. This jet did quite well in air to air combat. A big thank you to Col. Robin Olds who taught our pilots the dog fighting skills needed to down the adversary. They did not forget the teachings. 👍👍👍
After 27 years in the Navy fixing Navy Jets, Dad went to work for McDonnell Aircraft building F-4s. What a kick ass plane. In 1958, the Navy asked for an interceptor. They got one. It was such a good interceptor, the Air Force ended up buying more F-4s than the Navy. Over 5,100 built. Gorgeous airplane. Fantastic 3rd Generation jet. Then, McDonnell got the F-15 contract. Best 4th Generation warplane ever built. Good times. My son followed Dad into aviation. He's designing the B-21 for Northrup. More good times.

The JASDF is impressive and sharp looking. Their training, skill and courage should be seen as necessary to keeping the peace and security of their country, as well as ensuring stability in Asia. While every country has pride in its armed forces, the lessons of history and how cruel and devastating war can be, every country should also be reminded that deterrence, diplomacy and goodwill can do much more for trade, exchange and peace too. We hope every country remembers history and the importance of practicing diplomacy and promoting peace.
