F-4 Phantom

I've been a military aviation fan (some would say nut) since I was a kid, and I've seen few pictures of a Phantom pulling this much vapor. I feel fortunate to have gotten this shot.

Woooo Hoooo !!! Now that's a great photo of the F4. Thing is like a brick with wings, but oh.. unmistakably a most classic shape in U.S. military aviation! From the loud noise to the trails of black smoke that thing would leave behind in flight.. few aircraft served the U.S. like the F4. I agree with you- I can't remember the last time I saw an F4 with this much "dust" (condensation) on the wings. Wonderful photograph. Thank you for sharing!
