This one's from WAY back. When you could get away with these kinds of shenanigans. At least in Terre Haute anyways. He even throws a zinger at the Eagle guys. :lmao:

(Blue language alert. Don't say I didn't warn ya)

And a nice F-4F demo over Malta by the Luftwaffe. Low, fast, and LOUD!

"Talk about a virgin F-4, belonged to Ricky Spencer, so you know it's never been over 3 gees."

And lol at the smear to the Eagle guys. :lmao:

Phantom was first love.

It was big, loud, fast and.. ugly. In a cool way. Best description ever:

"The F-4 is a triumph of thrust over aerodynamics..."

Big time. The F-4, particularly with the older GE engines, the ones with the smoky combustors, produced some ear-splitting noise. On approach, the jet sounded like it was ripping the air apart. There's a really good YouTube video of some Luftwaffe F-4Fs doing some runs over a base. When I get a chance, I am going to post it. One of the passes...it sounds like the world is ending. Terrible noise!

Oh yeah. That noise of Double Ugly ripping the sky a new one. How dare those air molecules get in the way. As one of my Army buddies puts it "It sounds so angry!"

Found it!

Stuff starts getting really interesting at the 7 minutes mark, then that pass at 9:30... :shock:
