Photo Comment

A toned-down 171st FIS aircraft, full colour it's better... but hey... it's a Phantom! Arriving at home base Selfridge ANGB after a sortie over Lake Michigan and Lake Huron, this Phantom only has to drop its chute before its directed to the parking spot. 598 was retired on 2 July 1990 to AMARC with inventory code FP0524. The aircraft was removed from the hot storage area by late 2009 and sadly scrapped by HVF West Tucson.
