Isn't that the Collings F-4? I don't think that will become a drone...

No, that isn't the CF F-4. Several years ago the USAF began painting their drone F-4's in Vietnam markings and incorporating them into the Heritage program.

a) Slow to turn his landing light off and raise the flaps after landing, or

b) Waaaaaaay early to get the landing light on before takeoff.

4-ship? Was the F-22 flying with them?

BTW, great pics Vlado. Nice that you could get a few off while leading the formation.
