Random pictures thread
I wonder what that photo was all about?
Must have been the Viet Nam war days.
That Phantom pilot must have lotsa flying hours piloting that plane.
Looking at the picture, it only has the centerline tank, on it, and no bombs, armament under the wings, on the pylons.
To be behind that cargo plane he really had to slow that Phantom down, on air speed.
I noticed that the flaps are down too, to slow it down.
If i remember, the flaps are used under 250 air speed, so it had to be flying that, or somewhat slower.
Sure would like to know more what was going on in that photo.
That's now gotta be one of my favorite F-4 pictures.
