On July 30th the Phantoms at Wittmund Airbase, Germany will celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Phantom, with one bird wearing a "special" dress..  Don`t know if I can find the time to go there. F-14 Tomcat 4-ever!:) |

The USAF still flys some F-4's in their Heritage Flights, and this year they have added a little demo afterwards where the Phantom makes a few passes. I was really glad to see this, and hopefully I got some good photos from the Tyndall and Langley airshows this year where the F-4 actually some nice passes.

Most of the Air Forces listed still fly the F-4. Moreover Greek and Turkey have upgraded there F-4's to the 2000 series of modernization. Egypt still fly's the F-4 and there aircraft in the beginning of there use with Egypt's Air Force had issue's with maintaining those aircraft. It then decided to bring those personnel up to speed on the maintenance of these aircraft. Moreover those F-4's requiring depot level work are flown to the US for that level of care. There was a rumor some years ago when the F-4G's were on the way out the Greek Air Force was going to equip some of there F-4's for the same mission. But have seen nothing to the effect if indeed this did happen.

It has been great seeing all those Phantoms posted recently. Please keep them coming.

Unfortunately the good old phantom will be history in mid 2013 in the german air force. The farewell-celebration will be held 29th of june in Wittmund: http://www.phantom-pharewell.de/ I had the chance to see the smokey-birds in december 2011 for the last time. I can't make it this year to Wittmund. If you like, you find my pictures from the trip here http://www.powerplanes.ch/base-visits/2011/wittmund/index.html and here http://www.airfighters.com/photosearch.php?cra=1546&phgid=2885&sor=3 I hope to see some nice pictures from the farewell here at airfighters.... |

Yeah, it is very sad, that the Phantom-era is about to end in Germany. I know, that the Eurofighter is a good bird, but it has not the character that the Phantom has. The Phantom is a flying dinosaur. Maybe I can manage to get to Wittmund, before they are gone. If so, I will try to take as much pictures as possible and hope they will meet the high standarts on this board. First the Tomcats, now the Phantoms, this is so very sad.
