Clark Air Force base P.I. the F-4's chased these guys around with their Russian paint schemes, and much tighter turning radius than the veteran F-4's.

Back in the 60's I was stationed at North Isl.  I was the DCO (drop control officer). I started and launched the drones

Once the drones were launched they were used as air to air or ship to air targets.
:x Sounds like just about the most fun job I can think of!

The Kanonenvogel had 6 rounds per pod, this is not even close to being open for debate.

Were these out of NASNI? Or San Clemente Island? When we landed on the island before heading to the sub, I saw two of those drones sitting in the dirt off of the airport.

We flew out of North Isl.,  we had op's by San Clemente Isl. and sometimes the helo's would drop the drones on the island till we came and picked them up.

there was an F5 aggressor squadron based at upper heyford near me for a while in the late 80s, very cool watching em take off for exercises together with a bunch of eagles :aok  they were all black (with a russian star on the tails iirc.)

I got hassled by a bunch of USAF MPs for taking photos of them, I was outside the fence so I told them to ... well you can guess. they werent amused :D

in 1978 they had similar color schemes as seen above in an aggressor Sq of F-5E Tiger II's at Clark AFB P.I. It was funny watching the F-4D's trying to turn with them.

You'd think they learned that trying to turn fight mig21s - doesnt work out

Those looks like the same type drones we dropped at Clark in '78.  :salute
