It does indeed. I'm still going to laugh at being Kink-Shamed by the folks I'm taking photos of, but I'll look really GOOD doing it. :biggrin: (No Pun Intended)

said part is for Photo Derby, i only have that one serial. i got four  on all the others except gray. the gray "Phantoms Finest" seems to be on all of them

for now that Photo Derby '82 will be a solo on the main skin,  with alternate decal ini's in skin and specially named RecceTails (like say CB_reccetail) so you still have the whole squadron avail. would go totally seperate if i could get all 8 for Coronet Bishop '83 and Best Focus '82.

do you realize how frustrating "Best Focus '82" is as a google search if your looking for aircraft?:rofl:

Here you are. Some of them come from https://www.deviantart.com/f16crewchief/gallery/23910165/aircraft

So, you need 497 F-4E pix, too. What paint schemes are you interested in?

i've seen a few of these , and know about f16crewchief (even talked to him a few times in messages)

67-456 is a new one i need to add,  and i might need to change th 460th TRG bird. the pic i saw was very oblique and i believed them to follow a similar pattern as when at kadena

you dont happen to know the serial for "15th TRS" do you? logic says it should be 72-0155 still but it is the military,  logic didnt always (nor still does) apply:biggrin:

oh and the E's would be the tag end of service, so 87-88.  my notes so far say one of fourteen confirmed was in Euro 1, the rest should have been Hill Gray

FlickR has some cool 497 F-4E photos (guess you also know them, you seem as thorough a researcher as I try to be). :good:

As for the '15th TRS' RF-4C serial (taken a bit earlier, still during the Kadena days):

well i try on the research :biggrin:  everything in red is placed there by text on website, not  a book (which i feel is less likely for errors) or pic

anyone ever find out something, only to misplace where they found it  (research wise)?

have 69-0372 listed in my Tageu squadron as the "15 TRS" bird. this is noted in my "highly organized" spreadsheet, which means i discovered the fact somewhere and noted it

but i cant recall where from :stars:  72-0155 went to Bergstrom in late '89,  so it is  unlikely it stayed as the squadron bird for any length of time.

but Blade did get my eyes onto tailcode position and a serial i missed so that is pretty cool

 

now to scrub Alabama.....
