I think that's the wing commander taking off the bone dome (in the original slide there are a few people in USAF Blues waiting, lost when I straightened the image!) © Peter Doll

Image 2: F-4E 67-0246/ED 58 TFS/33 TFW at Spangdahlem AB Last Chance area in August 1975. They were deployed as Coronet Rino. © Peter Doll

Nice shot.  Keep the Spooks coming.  I think I have a shot of this one too from a PhanCon at Holloman.  I was shooting slides back them too.  Went dig now.

Thanks for the kind words, of course the real credit goes to the original photographers (unfortunately many unknown)

Had a look in my F-4 database for those two F-4s unfortunately not got either of those  Angry
