Photo Comment

An European One, or lizard, coloured RF-4C at its parking spot at homebase Reno. The 192d Tactical Reconnaissance Squadron, named "High Rollers" is part of the Nevada Air National Guard. The squadron replaced the RF-101 Voodoo with the RF-4C in 1975 and continued operating the Phantom II for twenty years. The High Rollers were the last RF-4Cs in operational service, and with their retirement it marked the end of the type within the USAF. In April 1996, the squadron transitioned to C-130E Hercules and the squadron was redesignated as 192d Airlift Squadron.
