Phantom coming to NCAR '16?

Definitely a sad read, but will us Reno fans get a special treat that "bigger" events tend to get more than Reno does..??

I hope they can make it to Reno this year. A friend of mines dad flew F-4's in Vietnam, it was a tough bird that got him home every time. The Arkansas ANG flew Phantoms at one time. I loved the noise and smoke when they made a pass at the air show's.

He wrote a book about his Air Force career, "Once a Fighter Pilot" by Jerry Cook. I think it is a pretty good read, but I am biased having known him my whole life.

That's an excellent book.

Read down a little further to the "F-35 to race in biplane class" article. It had my coffee squirting out of my nose...
