We are not alone. F-4 Phantom has a huge following among aviation buffs. It is the 56 Chevy of fighters to many. Beautiful, unmistakable lines with a glorious past. Motori should correct me if it was shot down by a Sidewinder or a Sparrow. Here is from the comments:
"Man, This is messed up! I worked on both the F-4 with the 4th TFW and the f-15 with the 48th FIS from 1980-85. To see the Phantom going down in flames is not easy to watch; as I wipe the tears from my eyes.."
