Don't be so negative Dino :) True, the total number of interesting aircraft reduced substantially. But from recent experience (Aug 2011) I can say, it is still a great place to spend some time, especially if you're a Phantom Phanatic : I definitely enjoyed it walking around the ramp, packed with 30 ...

a nice video on the final homecoming of F-4D 64-0965 to the Van Zandt County Veterans Memorial Park, in Canton (Texas, USA) http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=nok4j4NqrBY not the best quality, but in the first minute of the video some nice low level inflight air refuelling?!!...

didn't do that much spotting this year. highlight for me was my trip to Texas and New Mexico not in specific order : preserved F-4s in Texas 32 to choose from. Ft Worth, F-4D MIG-killer http://i258.photobucket.com/albums/hh276/Phantom270558CvB/ftworthF-4D.jpg the most ultimate way to preserve a beau...

an italian aircraft, that took part of the Dubai Airshow, has crashed this Fridaymorning.
both pilot as co-pilot are okay.

currently type unknown.

with all these nice oldies in this topic, I guess it would have been better to raise my question in this part of the forum. http://forum.scramble.nl/viewtopic.php?f=81&t=79362 The F-4 67-0367 flew with the 4 TFW at Seymour Johnson. She crashed in 1972, while on loan to the USAF Thunderbirds for ...

hi there, I don't know whether this is the correct forum to put this question. If not, moderator, please move it to the appropriate place. This F-4 flew with the 4 TFW at Seymour Johnson. She crashed in 1972, while on loan to the USAF Thunderbirds for training purposes, killing her pilot, Capt. Bolt...

today a Delta Air Cessna 206 crashed on takeoff from Delta Camp. Compared to last weeks crash, this time apparently no casualties.

this morning (local time) an Airlines PNG Dash 8 crashed in Papua New Guinea, while flying from Lae to Madang.
there were 32 people on board.
there should be survivors, but exact figure yet unknown.

just landed in the new colorscheme.....

last Friday a Cessna 310 ditched in the ocean near Hawaii. plane flew from Monterey to Hawaii. after 11h 30min of flight, and 500 miles from Hilo the pilot radioed he was running low on fuel. The USCG dispatched a C130, ship and chopper to help the pilot with the emergency landing. This video was ma...

thanks Ben,

in that case, I come back to my initial question, with an additional one : was it BuNo 152269 that was preserved at NAS Dallas ? and if so, what happened to her ?

hi Richard, at the FWVMAP there are 2 F-4s : USN QF-4S BuNo 153821 and USAF F-4C 64-0825, painted as a USN VF-202 "Superheats" the picture I found on the 152269 http://www.airliners.net/search/photo.search?cx=partner-pub-8297169501225184%3Aa05n2n-tzky&ie=ISO-8859-1&q=152269&sa=...

I don't know whether this is the right part of the forum to ask this question. Moderator, if not, please move it to the proper one. In the past - back in the early 90s - there was a gate-guard at NAS Dallas, a preserved F-4N BuNo 152269. Does anybody know what happened to this F-4 after the closure ...
