I thought the original lot of RN Phantoms had the RR engines that weren't quite a powerful as the GE engines.  The later lots the Brits got had the GEs 

The UK fleet carriers had shorter cats, but the F-4K could compensate for that as the RR Spey is stronger than the J79 at low low altitude. (airvectors.net is always a nice source for reading about warplanes, btw.)

I was so excited about this release, I went on an emoji creating spree!

Now I have an F-4, F-104, F-16, A-10, and Su-30 Care Emoji to go with my F-14 Care Emoji!

If there was an announcement to shove the F-15E and the Apache into the shadows of Hoggit, it is quite literally this.

I am absolutely floored and cannot wait to fly the USAF version. Thank you, HB

Ever since the Tomcat dropped, I had three wishful things in mind to be the next HB module. Those were the Tornado, the F-111 and a collab with ED on that Phantom because of what you guys have done before, especially the multi-crew feature with Jester. I have been laughed at every time I mentioned that possible HB + ED collab as something that would be cool for the Phantom. Now I do laugh at those who kept saying it'd never gonna happen that way rdlaugh.png

As if I knew it all the time... dealwithit.png

Now HB has gotten about 20% cooler! awesome.png

Mandatory pilot model

It's a little hard to make out, and with the O2 mask on you can't see the legendary mustache, but at the 00:40 mark of that teaser, I would swear the pilot's helmet says "Col. Olds".

 

But I can't be sure.  That'd be a lot of awesome in one place.

Can't pretend fly as well as you can.

We levied former F4 crews $5 every time they spelled an “F” as “Ph”. 

Who wants to be in charge of the Phantom fine jar?

Well, there's an actual end to the national debt.

Reformers hate him! This one weird trick found by a bush pilot will make gunfighter obsessed old farts angry at your multi-role carrier deck line up!

I had this feeling an announcement was coming.  The effort going into the Forrestal for what was implied to be more than the Tomcat and Intruder, the unnamed module on the Trello, the work that HB has put into the AI RIO.

 

I'm excitedly awaiting what I will assume will be an F-4J and possibly an S following the E, but I'll be buying everything HB puts out.  Even if that includes an RF-4.  I couldn't be more thrilled that it's HB doing it.

Me, it can go to the folks painting F-4 liveries and counting rivets!

I may or may not have helped facilitate photos of Col Olds' helmet from the USAF museum, which were kindly provided by Hoglan83 on Instagram. Granted I think he was only flying the Cs and/or Ds, but with that being such an iconic AF Phantom legend (like Top Gun is with the Tomcat), I didn't drag my feet.
