Registry Request: Phantom images and info

Sun Dec 10, 2017 8:00 am

Registry request. I am looking to try and expand the Phantom registry and request information and/or pictures of Phantoms on display. There are a lot of them out there at VFW posts and other less obvious places. So please, do your part and help make sure these Phantoms are not forgotten! Thanks.

F-4C-19-MC s/n 63-7567 designed specifically for USAF use. Early in its career, it was converted to an EF-4C Wild Weasel flak suppression aircraft and was last operated by the California Air National Guard, Fresno, CA. On 9 April 1986, it was sold to Flight Systems Inc, Mojave, CA, with civilian registration of N402FS. By June of 1987 it was displayed at Travis Air Museum.

Scott, here's a link to the discussion of F-4D 65-0777 located in Pasadena, Texas at American Legion Post 521. The link to a period photo of her at Lakenheath I posted in 2009 from 5053.com is now a dead one. 65-0777 was painted in semi-Thunderbird scheme and hasn't weathered well...they shoulda' left her alone in the colors she came to us in. Luckily, the originator of the thread, member 67N20, posted photos of her before the paint job. Mike at Aerial Visuals may have some info you might check. The gate guard photo of 65-0777 at Lakenheath that's posted in various places on the web is actually an earlier F-4C posing in her ID.
