    I was speaking in general terms and they both do the same shit. No need to jump all over me over this, sheesh. I also remember plenty about my logged CR-2 time at NDZ, so thanks for reading a little too much into my comment...sir.

    A ruse!? Hi, it's 1930s, can we have our words, and clothes, and shitty plane back? Call you back, 1930s. And, hey, watch out for that Adolf Hitler. He's a bad egg.

    Lighten up, Francis. It was a joke. It was more a dig on the AF than you. Go look at the AF breast feeding thread.

    As a Cobra pilot, I'm unable to lighten up, and apparently unable to interpret internet forum speak without smilies. I missed the whole breast feeding thread, but in the end, no harm no foul. (Insert simulated smilie here - unable to with ipad tapatalk)

    Since many years ago, I followed one of your brother Cobra pilots' lead and abstained from smilies. Call it a memorial or means to honor him, if you want. He could usually pull it off. I know I'm no skidkid, but it's a goal.

    QF-4E from Tyndall - flew in a Heritage Flight with a P-51 and A-10 at last year's Cleveland National Air Show.

    You got that right, hlg. The venerable 'badass' pfantum could flash by anything airborne (except the KA-3/6/7, KC-10/130/135 et al.)!

    I've been told that max endurance for a fully fueled F-4 @ 100%, full blowers, at SL. is ~8-10 minutes. Catmando you got lotsa' F-4 green ink high-speed, low-level egress hours, does that compute?:confused:

    That's not actually that far off the mark for a legacy Hornet in MAX AB. I've flown 0.6-ish BFM hops that were logged liberally to help out OPS, including 10-12 min transit each way.

    I think it was 12 minutes. But that also was with the additional 600 gallon centerline drop tank!

    BTW, I never ran out of gas. But I came close many times, as did many. You could suck her dry in a heartbeat, and in the heat of battle. Some great guys I know were not so lucky. And of those that made it RTB, I know a number who flamed out before the refueling pits. :eek:

    [ps: 'pfantum' my ass, bzb! It is the McDonnell Douglas F-4 Phantom II Multirole Fighter that is regarded as one of the more successful fighter designs of all time! LINK]
    :D

    Using re-heat judiciously – which we trained to do, if adrenalin didn't overcome us – we could make our 17,000# of JP-4 last for about an hour for ACM – Air Combat Maneuvering training (what later and is now regrettably called "BFM" (sounds like a fricken, non-combat bowel movement!!!))

    Of course the RED LOW FUEL warning light was always on upon landing at NKX.

    If it were true, it would be a light-attack schoolyard! :p

    BFM = Basic Flight Maneuvering, huh? New PC term for ol' fashioned DOGFIGHTING? Don't want our terrorist enemies to think we're training for...gasp, COMBAT!:eek:
