One of the best 'buddy cop' movies, IMO.

He retired from this unit just before they transitioned to the F-16 way back when.

RE: F-4...still after many years, one of my favorite air craft!

Is it just the way the video was shot, but I noticed the lack of the tell-tail exhaust(?).

Awesome! He must have some really cool & interesting stories to tell.

My father was a technician, stationed at Ubon, Thailand (how the parents met). He worked on Weasels and Thuds. Went on to work for Lufthansa until retirement.

Good chance he worked on some of the Thuds my dad flew as I know some of them were sent to the New Jersey ANG.

My pops did they same thing. Pan Am and retired with Delta.

A few of them that were used as drones had engine upgrades, that's probably one of them. The TD means Tyndall AFB which is where the F-4 and now F-16 drones are based along with the new F-35's.
