I like the Bavarian one.
still a classy looking plane
Nice pix! Thanks.
Phantoms have a special place in my heart. A friend of mine was a GIB when the Nebraska ANG flew the RF-4 and he invited my son and I to the pharewell ceremony when the Hustlin' Huskers transitioned from the Phantom to the KC-135. We got the grand tour of the facility and a great spot to watch the flybys. Good stuff.
Phantoms. Proof that even a brick can fly if you stick two big engines on it.
