Mirage IV's don't look that big when they are parked by themselves, but put them next to the fighter versions shows just how big they are!

We have a Mirage IV in a museum nearby and they look like a paper dart I used to make as a child.

One of my favorite F14 shots Taken by one of VF-102's Aviators in 1986 on the way back to USS America, after a short tour around Libya.

I always found the Royal Navy's version of the F4 interesting, with its RR engines, and extended nose gear for use on the smaller carriers of the British Navy, but just like the earlier war birds of WWII, most are just a memory today

bit of info for you.............thats actually a 74 Squadron RAF Phantom FGR2.......but it might have been an ex Royal Navy F4-K as they passed them on to the RAF when phased out

that paint job was a special when the squadron was about to change to Hawks in a training role...........unfortunatly the aircraft had already retired and never flew in the scheme.......was just a photo oppertunity

RAF Wattisham......must have been 1992/3 as thats when the RAF retired the F4.....was the last RAF base flying it so they all ended up there

Must be a USN base.

In addition to Thunderbirds F-100 Super Sabres, and Blue Angels F11F Tigers, and Golden Hawks CL-13 Sabres, there are an F-8 Crusader and two T-2 Buckeyes.
