I was active Duty in the Marine Corps from 1981-84 and stationed aboard the 3rd MAW El Toro in Socal . There were quite a few squadrons that had F4's like VMFA531 grey ghosts VMFA 214 black sheep

The F4 Phantoms were my favorite military aircraft

When I was in the Marine Corps 1975-9 .82-5. MCAS (H )Tustin was my first duty station with MABS -16 MAG 16 3 Marine Air Wing . I had Truck driver school MCAS El Toro for 2 months there . I saw F-4 Phantoms and a variety aircraft there . And when I went overseas to Okinawa . I landed at Kadena AFB the home of the SR-71 Blackbird AKA Habu .Especially when they took off at night with the flame blue from the J-58,s burning JP-7 .

8 of my 10 years in the USAF was devoted to F-4 engine work. She's still my baby.
