IBob Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 They still fly those things???? I lived in Ano Voula to the east of Athens at the beginning of the '70s, when the US NATO presence shared one end of the main airport. And two F4s would take off every day, fly the Med borders and return on finals over where I lived. The sound was really odd as they neared touchdown in the distance: a series of what sounded like loud moans, which I guess was the power being buttoned on and off???

kgwilson Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 (edited) There are a few privately owned these days. There is a 1959 model for sale at $US1.5 million on line. Edited January 31, 2023 by kgwilson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
