Very sexy.  There's only one left on the Tyndall ramp, and that one's just waiting to fly off to Holloman AFB.  Tyndall will be using QF-16s beginning around 1 October.

I love Airman's youtube channel. Great production values.

It is sad to see an F4 Phantom go. But if it has to go, at least go in a big bang. We'll see it in Valhalla.  :salute
I just hope they leave enough of them around in museums.

A truely iconic plane, one of aviation history greatest.
