Phantom test

[Clave]

I have been delaying this for far too long, but I now have a first draft F-4E done - I expect there are many things to fix, but hopefully I will get through that quickly, and get many more done...

Sweet work! Can't wait for the Sundowners the Screaming Eagles which served on USS Coral Sea CV(A)-43, they don't get more colourful than that! 8) And the No. 74 and No. 111 Squadrons!

I'm still doing some tweaks at the moment... and loading up with AIM-7s...

Great job Clave, I loved watching these beauties when I was in Nam. The Phantom and Skyhawk were my favorite aircraft.
