Super excited to see that the Eagle Jet is becoming a FF module! Lots of memories as a kid watching the 390th F-15s fly around.

Just the user created unofficial one so far.

6bucks, thank you so much for creating this. Is there a layer problem with the underside of your skin? A few shots of 69-7555. Lance is correct, I've combed through several archives and cant seem to find a great view of patch on the intake. I hope the user files section gets flooded with Clark birds haha!

I haven’t seen it in close to 20 years, but the Great Santini has some great F-4 phootage. Sully has some F-4E scenes in it. Hamburger Hill featured some F-4Es from what I like to believe, Clark AB dropping Hollywood “Napalm” in a few scenes. Then there’s this classic. I remember seeing it as a school kid on one of my dads VHS mixtapes from his time in the AF. Edit - Oh! I forgot the ultimate cheese. Iron Eagle II has F-4Es featured as MiGs hahaha

USAF F-4E with the 526th out of Ramstein AB, Germany.

We are hours away from seeing the video. Hopefully some good news!

@exhausted The F-4E is a great variant with a great history, variety of weapons and mission sets. I and many others are excited for the F-4E, and hope that your preferred USN and British variants eventually appear.

I seen that video earlier this week. Very well done. I think perhaps while researching the F-4E, Heatblur ran across F-105D documents and got sidetracked starting work on the Thud - hence the delay of the Phantom.

You could realistically save yourself some finger stress and leave this thread. I pray you find peace.

Bring it!!!

I deployed for a year looking forward to the F-4 being released upon my return. Checked every week for an update. I hope my leave doesn’t run out before it releases!

If the USAF thought it was an incredible waste of effort, I doubt they would’ve took the time to bring them all the way from PACAF. That said, you could argue the Marines realized that the F-4S would be a complete waste of resources and left them behind. Since we’re now talking DCS scenarios, placing a F-14B or F/A-18C on a carrier or forward base is much better than sending F-4S paltry into the grinder.
