Back to 4th November 1989 and the monthly AMARC 'Photographer's Tour' and a view of the process-in area and more Phantoms. Pleased to have caught the 'DO' coded F-4D last operated by the 89th TFS / AFRES out of Wright-Patterson AFB. Scrapped June 1997.
A hard to work photo of this 89thTFS 302ndTFW (AFRes) F-4D from Wright Patterson. Snapped from the window of a moving vehicle, it has extreme contrast, and some noise, but is a rare subject.
The 906th FG of AFRES deployed to Europe for the 1992 Tactical Fighter Weaponry in Denmark. After 906 FG disbanded this airframe was delivered to the AMARC storage and departed to Italy afterwards. There it's being used for spares recovery.
Her name 'City of Wilmington' is just still visible and she has been in store for less than a year. Previously operated by the AFRES 89th TFS 'Rhinos' this F-4D was traded in for the F-16, and then the C-141. She was scrapped in 1997.
