Blast from the past. F-4N on the cat...

A F-4N from VF-111, "Sundowners" launches from the deck of the USS Franklin D Roosevelt, CV-42.

  1. F-4 Phantom....Put a big enough engine on a brick, and it'll fly! God, I love that airplane. Had a friend who worked on F-4G Wild Weasels during the Gulf War. Every sorti into Iraq had F-4s escorting them. Great plane.

  2. A quick peek at up and down bent wing and tailplane tells a story of an aerodynamic nightmare ,but those were the days before fly by wire made anything fly able
