I've heard F-4 pilots describe it as "the military's science project to prove that, if you strap big enough engines on anything, it will fly." 

Put a big enough engine on a brick it will fly.

Didn't have a clue back then...young, dumb, and just having fun...many friends bagged one or more in Her.  Now just mentoring new owner/operators in their business jets.   And looking over an old  -1...my how things have changed.  But I still miss Her.

... I mashed down on the breaks and I’m pretty sure at this point the jet just started laughing at me...

Shouldn't that be mashed on the BRAKES?

Hmm.... Newbie corrects a homophone on a 10-month old post.  

Hell of a first post.  I'm sure you'll have lots to contribute on your second post.  

Thanks for signing up here at Baseops.net!

You probably critique a woman’s hair when she’s topless...

It’s better than coming on the brakes.

Wouldn't that really depend on the crew chief?

Anyone on here have any F-4 time?  I kept trying to get a flight at WSEP but it never panned out...


MD has a few hours in the E model. He was talking about it on another forum.
@MD care to answer up?

Got a 1.3 in the F-4...like flying an overloaded dump truck through the sky compared to the viper. My hats off to those dudes who flew that thing into the shit - amazing they had to dodge SAMs and MiGs in that thing.

I have 950 hours in the F-4 pit, mostly E and G.  That was hard physical work, but I liked the G a whole lot because its EW system was 30 years ahead of its time.

Heads down like prison rules...

 

”I better not catch you looking at the damn sky NAV!”

OK, just shut up and drive me to work.  Point the jet where I tell you to, follow the bars, and mash that pickle button when I say so.  We'll get along just fine.

I just love watching the Pilot/Nav or for my gold wing bretheren 1 anchor/2 anchor fights.

It’s all one rating on my side so what seat I was in never mattered.
