  • My new desktop ornament...

    ...is a die-cast 1:48 scale model of a McDonnell Douglas F4H Phantom.



    I saw it in a shop a few weeks ago and knew I had to have it and now I do.

    Sweet!
    Those make great drone planes for missile tests.

      When I was in the Navy 82-87
      I was Stationed at VX-5 China Lake, California.
      I saw alot of F-86's get blown out of the sky.
      By 1987 they were starting to use the F-4's for drones.
      I was sad to see such nice aircraft get blown up/crash.
      Nice model!

        But the Phantom still is in service with other airforces around the world, the Turkish air force for example.

          The two most amazing aircraft I have ever seen are:

          The F-22 Raptor - I saw one make a near 90 degree turn, straight up and take off like a rocket, totally sureal.

          A PT-13? painted up for RedBaron Pizza - took off at under 50 mph! It was crazy to realize you could lift off at that low of speed.

          The F4 was the first model airplane I ever built. Looks good!
