F-4's pay their respect to Col Bud Day {Aug 1st}

QF-4s fly one last missing man formation at Col Bud Day's funeral on August 1st at Barrancas National Cemetary, NAS Pensacola FL.  Thunderstorms in the area almost prevented this but at the last minute the lightning within five miles warning was lifted and the sun shined through the clouds.

Of course, current F-4 Society members get it for free via a special link when they log in to the website.  

New items in the store

The New Year brings a few new and different items in our store.

At the top of the list is something folks at PhanCon 2012 saw and almost always asked where they could get one.  It is a ceramic tile of the Spook, about six by four inches in size.  We now have a special arrangement for these in three colors suitable for hanging, for use as a paper weight, or incorporated in a full tile layout such as a counter backsplash.

Last Phantom selected for Drone Conversion

The final F-4 Phantom destined for conversion to a QF-4 aerial target drone recently entered the 309th Aircraft Maintenance and Regeneration Group's refurbishment line at Davis-Monthan AFB, Ariz., according to the Desert Lightning News, the base newspaper. AMARG workers last month towed the RF-4C reconnaissance airframe from the base's aircraft boneyard into a hangar in preparation for modification to its drone configuration, stated the newspaper's June 1 edition.
