RF-4C Alconbury
Volkel, 22 October 1981.
One of my oldest slides, taken in 1981 during a spotters' day at Volkel airbase (Netherlands). There were two visiting recce Phantoms from Alconbury. The weather was %^$@! - as usual.
This was a 'J79 only' day as the F-104s were not yet replaced by F-16s. Not a single F-16 was seen! ;-)
68-0557 was converted to QRF-4C drone and wasted in November 2010.
