Picture my Phantom flight flying over the delta at dawn spewing gas - silhouetted against a multi-colored sky.
Not PC but a very, very atmospheric scene. |
When it comes to the Phantom screw all the PC crap!

Oh yea Skyhawks, another great aircraft. One of the USN's A-4s managed to kill a MiG with three Zuni rockets in a dogfight once. My dad was assigned to a A-4 Squadron as a Aviation Storekeeper, VA-212. He was also with a A-7 Corsair squad VA-122 doing the same. Hes fond of saying "the A-7 could
carry an A-6 [Intruder]!" Which is nearly the truth.
