Congrats on POTPP (Picture On The Portal Page for those who spend hours trying to figure out unknown acronyms). It's also my favorite F-4E and one I was up close and personal with. The particular aircraft was the 3rd Tactical Fighter Wing commander's aircraft at Clark AB, Philippines when I was stationed there. When visiting dignitaries wanted to see aircraft at Clark up close and personal, this aircraft was the E model which was always on display. The Wild Weasel G model was also shown, but the 90th TFS didn't have a dedicated aircraft for show...we took which ever we could. 8v) The day before Gulf War I began, I was escorting the entertainer Billy Joel around base. This aircraft was one of several set up as static displays. With a pilot on one side, myself on the other side and Billy in the cockpit, we answered all his questions about the aircraft. I also had to tell Billy Joel that due to bureaucratic bumbling, we were able to give him a ride in the back seat of aircraft. The only comment I have against the model in question, and this has nothing to do with your excellent building ability YuG, is this; I never saw that particular aircraft look that dirty. It was always washed and polished several times a week. Members of the 3rd Tactical Fighter Squadron took great pride in keeping that particular aircraft in white-glove inspection order. Again, beautiful build of my phavorite Phantom.
