Here ya go kenny!! http://www.collingsfoundation.org/Houston/tx_f-4dphantom.htm Bring your wallet and you can go for a spin.

Yep Karen is top notch. Loves the history of the FAC. Raven was the call sign of the all black night interdiction air controllers. Your regular grey ones was Nail. There are a couple of great books out there on these pilots and I highly recommend.

The 465 was just plain and simply a weak motor for the 5 ton. In the deuce, it appears to have been ok but after many conversations with maint and drivers in VN, the lds was weak on power and could not withstand compression braking when needed. Look at the other engines they had for the...

Got any pics of the black raven? She is a FB friend and always enjoys pic of her airplane.

me too!! The best one I've been too. Got to finally ride with edd in angel. I only went once and rode up front with him so we could chat. Not to mention the box was pretty full. Still got my engine panel that everyone signed and I look at it fondly. You know I still have not been in the...

Thanks Red, I would not say ive made most of the gatherings but I have been to 3 of em and its nice to say I was at the first. There was also those 4 days in Vegas for the ATAV reunion in 2000. Been at it a long time. You should go down and rattle crowbars cage! Its been a few weeks...

There was a thread on here about it. It was recently for sale on Ebay.

The theory was the thought on MF but if you do the research and talk with the drivers who operated them when they first came out, you will find that reliability was not its strength. There was certainly a reason why Continental had full time field reps in Vietnam and the army had a red ball...

This reminds me that I should start my M-54A2 and run it for a bit. I just did all of this just last year to that one. Found that the retaining clip had come off on the IPH.

Rick it's is my favorite as it has all the aspects of everyone working together to remedy the situation. I certainly do understand its effects on others and this is the reason I have only played it 3 times in public.

Have you tried starting it with a little throttle input? Sounds like either your shut off lever is stuck or the retaining clip has come off on the Ip head piston.

As in the brakes work?

Yet its forsale on CL???? I knew I had seen that pic before!!!

I usually buy all the c's I find that we're separated from their boxes long ago. Usually at displays I will open one up and show what it looks like today. I will admit, I have eaten the shortbread, crackers and John Wayne bar from 66 to 71 dates and I am still here. Once I empty the...

I have about 12 hrs of AFVN. A former DJ was big into formatting the recordings and selling them on DVD's. I got the bulk of my collection from him. I have his address somewhere. I also have 4 cd's of the "first termer". You can Internet search that. I also have two with a aviation...

We're you one of the many that also ate his peaches with the pound cake??? I have a friend who openly admits that his favorite was the ham n eggs. He said he always had plenty of them. btw I'm about to use some of those brake parts I got from you a couple of yrs ago. Glad I picked them...

Here are some pics to give you ideas.

I would like to get back to another authentic detail and thats the "Pioneer tools". Look at pictures and guess what, your not going to find them!! They were back at the company motor pool locked in a Connex box. Why you might ask??? Because simply they would become missing!! The only time those...

Smokes, you can use the typical 4 pack from the C but I like the look of the full packs. I have a couple period Marboros that have the US tax exempt stamp on em. If you display your smokes, keep em off any helmets along with a Ace of spades, everyone has been there and done that. It was 199th MP...

Here ya go!!! You have 2 wonderful starts as two guys who were there that made perfect posts on what you could find. Then another post proving that the A2 was in Vietnam with the MP units. Keep the PRC-25 for a pack display. Install a RT-524 for a radio. I myself have a P-38 with me...
