Just out from one of the four shelters and waiting for the line crew to clear the aircraft. The wings are just unfolding. On the F-4C this was controlled from the cockpit like on the USN versions, but on the F-4E it was a manual operation.

One of the three 57th FIS. T-birds taxying out to the Sierra taxyway, to prepare for takeoff on runway 02. Great sunlight after a shower. The midwinter noontime sun in Iceland will give one these vibrant colors after a midday shower.

This just shows how conditions can become spectacular after a heavy rainshower especially during the winter when the sun is low in the sky and it becomes clear like here. This is the squadron commanders aircraft and probably has the callsign triple balls.
