Sorry guys this one is long gone off my PC to

Oh no mate! I am so sorry to hear this! Wishing you a speedy and full recovery

How does it stack up next to the F-15C/E/I we already have?

Listened to a Podcast interviewing one of the Red Eagles recently, he talked about his journey to get there and how the only dedicated air-to-air F-4E units in the USAF after Vietnam were the 36th TFS out of Osan in Korea and the 57th FIS out of Keflavik in Iceland. He made his way to the 36th in order boost his chances of an aggressor squadron posting. On a side note when I was researching the 'Hill Grey' scheme for the 36th I learnt there was an initial 3-tone grey 'Hill Grey 1' scheme used on the first F-4E to be repainted. It was closer to the original 3-tone grey scheme on the F-16A with all light grey undersides (and drop tanks), it only really appeared on US F-4E Phantoms in Korea.

@ravenclaw_007cheers mate that's really interesting

Hey @ravenclaw_007, I'm curious about the "pitch control unit" in the cockpit of your F-4F. What's its purpose and function other than the obvious from its name? I don't see it in any other of your F-4 cockpits I believe...

Technical question @ravenclaw_007, the AN/ARN-101 Digital Modular Avionics Suite (DMAS) specifically gave the appropriately upgraded F-4E and F-4G the CCIP function. Do you know what components in the Peace Rhino upgrade gave the F-4F the CCIP function?
