For Phantom Phans

Jimbuna · 03-13-14, 07:05 AM

IMHO one of the best looking fighter planes since the 60's

Salute The Phantom http://www.planestv.com/product/medi...eid=048d72e58b

Lovely bird (except for being a heavy smoker which got it the nickname "Air defence Diesel" in the Luftwaffe). I'm already missing them.

I never got an actual Phantom bite, but I do have the love scratches on my back from working on her.

Good aircraft. Still one of the fastest on the deck.

My first love was the Phantom. My second love was an angry raven haired gal who drank too much and would often disappear for months on end. Guess which of the two I almost married.

The wrong one.

I've a few in my diecast aircraft collection and one is currently on order.

So that is where UK's defence budget is hidden.
Great airplane.

LOL...cheers

I've always thought the F4 was a great looking aircraft too!

TarJak · 03-13-14, 02:22 PM

Phantastic

I've got a bit of a soft spot for the Brick/Rhino, the triumph of thrust over aerodynamics. Never seen one in flight, but admire the low level performance of the Wild Weasel variants.

Jimbuna · 03-13-14, 02:50 PM

Amongst my top three favourites alongside the Harrier and Buccaneer.

TarJak · 03-13-14, 03:36 PM

The Spey engined RN variant is still my favourite brick.

Jimbuna · 03-13-14, 05:17 PM

A strange one....the Phantom being known by most as 'Rhino' and the Buccaneer likewise as 'Brick' or 'Banana'.
