The 122nd TFS operated the F-4C from 1979 until 1986, when the unit received the F-15. Several of their Phantoms were marked "Coonass Militia". Coon ass is a term used for people with a cajun background. As this nickname was considered insulting by some, it was later changed, first to Cajun Militia, and then to Bayou Militia. This particular aircraft is now preserved with the Louisiana ANG in New Orleans. This photo was added on 1 November 2020, and has since been viewed 639 times. |
