Seeing the mighty Phantom thrown around as a formation team aircraft was certainly memorable. This Blue Angels bird later went on to become an EF-4J with VAQ-33

Thunderbirds ship # 4 was the slot machine that always caught the exhaust soot from the rest of the formation. Back in 1960 a decision had been made to allow the tail of #4 to remain black, although never painted as such. The Thunderbirds graduated to the heavy Phantom from the F-100D in 1969 and relinquished them in favour of T-38's in 1974 after a break thanks to the 1973 oil crisis. 66-0291 went into storage at Davis Monthan in 1991 as an NF-4E after test use at Edwards and removed for scrap 5.11

Another shot of Blue Angels ship '6' - this time plus '5', which was Bu Aer 153876 (c/n 2450) - lost 7.8.73 during airshow at Lake Charles, LA. Pilot ejected safely, but shortly after the Blue Angels transitioned to the more manageable A-4. Look at the serial numbers - they happened to be almost a mirror image too! It may appear like a Photoshop clone job, but I can assure everyone it's straight from the slide. Quite a performance for big heavy jets

About 265 F-4Js were upgraded to F-4S standard between 1979 & 1985, involving strengthening, the fitment of two-position wing leading-edge manoeuvring slats (50% improvement in combat turning capability) and digital weapons control system, plus 'smokeless' J79 engines. This example was wfu by 6.86 and stored at MCAS Cherry Point
