It's too bad that the ARMY did away with the'Silver Eagles' demo team. I saw them @ NAS Callendar back in the mid-ish 70's great show and it all went on right in front of you, no zoom away and zoom back stuff.

Pat - Thanks - glad you liked it! It was awesome to see the Heritage flight with the F-4.

It was very cool to see the Sky Soldiers Demo doing their thing with the Cobras!

WDC - The F-4 at Wings Over Wayne was NOT the Collings F-4. I believe the F-4 we saw is from the 82nd Aerial Target Squadron, 53rd Weapons Evaluation Group out of Tyndall AFB in FL.

whistlingdeath-

The Air Force has several QF-4s still flying and part of the active inventory, though most (all?) officially on the books as drones. They do airshow appearances. Sure seems to me to be a really cool unintentional/intentional way of promoting AF heritage without going too much outside of the AF's comfort zone. The QF-4s, I am sure, are operated/maintained in as good/better shape than the F-15s and F-16s in the inventory. Pretty cool deal if you ask me.

Steve -

The F-4 had both crewmen. See attached photo from the galleries:

We were really psyched to see an operational F-4 in the air! I'm really glad the USAF has them making airshow appearances - as tulsaboy (kevin) noted.
