Popular Post Ron Johnson Posted February 13 Popular Post Report Share Posted February 13 The Phantom is a large fighter with a top speed of over Mach 2.2. It can carry more than 18,000 pounds of weapons on nine eternal hardpoints, including air-to- air missiles, air-to-ground missiles, and various bombs. The F-4, like other interceptors of its time, was initially designed without an internal cannon. Later models incorporated an M61 Vulcan rotary cannon. Beginning in 1959, it set 15 world records for in-flight performance, including an absolute speed record and an absolute altitude record. preprius, Norm Fengstad, Rolf and 11 others 13 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
preprius Posted February 13 Report Share Posted February 13 These do look fast and slick. Ready for takeoff !! I sorry. . . I just had a flash of improvement. Make and orange piece that velcros on the back of the engine. So the kids can turn on after burners. Me.Mark Eason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

munzieb Posted February 13 Report Share Posted February 13 Great job on the F-4. Love the contrasting colors. Saw alot of them while I was stationed in Germany in the late 60's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrappile Posted February 13 Report Share Posted February 13 Nice! Looks like fun, not only to build but to play with also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerry walters Posted February 13 Report Share Posted February 13 I'm wondering Ron, does everything you touch turn into beautiful artwork? They would be a hit in an art gallery. Those are really nice. Although I was not stationed in Viet Nam, I was in country many times delivering supplies for the war effort. I was always amazed watching these beautiful planes take off. To be honest I was envious of the pilots. Beautiful work. Jerry heppnerguy and danny 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JonH Posted February 15 Report Share Posted February 15 Your work touched on some fun memories. I worked on Phantoms at two overseas duty stations. Of the many different airframes I had the opportunity to work on, they were my favorite and most challenging. Nice work Ron! danny 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
