Stunning bi-centennial colour scheme on this RF-4B that had already been applied in 1975, one year before the bi-centennial celebrations. Unfortunately, the aircraft did not make it into 1976 as it crashed in Arizona on 22 October 1975. This photo was added on 24 October 2020, and has since been viewed 857 times. |
