What a lovely study of the Phantom!

This was the last F-4C built.

SO that yellow star is not a kill marking !! I figured it wasn't, but I have always wondered, as I shot two of these in low vis grey (or maybe Ds) at Harlengen in the 89 airshow, they are the F-4s I shot facing into the morning sun. Ill post some better views. They had one posted on the intake, kinda like a kill, but I have always wondered.

Usually MiG Kills are recoded on the Vari-ramps like this acft f16crewchief.deviantart.com/ar… . The Ellington Guard patch resembles a kill though.

I said it before, the F-4 is an awesome fighter.

There is nothing majestic or graceful about the Phantom. It's just pure "I'm gonna kick your ass" screamin' fury. God Bless the Phantom.

Is that a "kill" sticker on the nose, slightly in front of the pilot? I can't quite tell what it is.

No, That is a Texas ANG patch [link] is a link to a later patch.
