USAF F4 help requested

Tue Oct 04, 2016 4:15 pm

Would greatly appreciate any help on the status of AF F4 37654 & 37743, which were assigned to Systems Command at Edwards AFB in the mid to late 1960s. I worked on both of these and got a ride in 654 in 1967.

My thanks to you both.

If you look at the photo of 743, you can make out the Systems Command logo just above the letter A.

I had forgotten to add in my original post that the 3rd F4 that we had at Edwards was 409, reputed to be one of the very first Phantoms.
She was a bit of a hangar queen and flew the least of the 3.

Again, my thanks.
