Great photos. Thanks for sharing those Mark. I grew up under the flight path for Miramar in the 70's. I miss seeing the F-4's, A-4's and F-14's. I'm pretty certain this picture was taken at NAS North Island. You can see part of downtown San Diego off the nose.

Cool photos! But F-4N 151475 was not photographed at Nellis. That is at El Paso International Airport. Same for F-4N 150442 and F-4J 155740. All circa 1979-1980. Those were the days!

We should have just stopped building jets after the Phantom. They ain't gonna get no better!
