Photo Comment

An F-4F of the German Air Force in a USAF livery. The 20th Fighter Squadron, part of the 49th Fighter Wing, learned German pilots how to fly the F-4F, this out of home base Holloman AFB (NM). Because of this, the Luftwaffe Phantoms were repainted in USAF colours. This is Luftwaffe serial 3769.
