It was a fun day, with constantly changing weather conditions, that 21 June 1990. Besides four Luftwaffe F-4Fs, it also saw the arrival of 7x EG F-15s of the 56th TFW, a 10th MAS Sherpa, a Portuguese C-130, 2x Dutch F-16s, and locally based 32nd TFS Eagles and 334sq F27s. This F-4F (FMS 72-1248) flew first on 22 Sep'75, was delivered to the Luftwaffe 23 Oct'75. The spook made its last flight on 8 Feb'03 when serving the German training unit at Holloman AFB (NM). With 4658,4 flight hours logged, it was withdrawn at Holloman and eventually moved as a range target at the White Sands Missile range

This Luftwaffe Phantom became 71-1248/HO in the States in support of the Luftwaffe training school at Holloman AFB (NM). The aircraft can now be found - if it is not destroyed by air to surface or surface to surface weapons - at the White Sands Missile Range nearby Holloman after it was withdrawn from use.
