+Adrian Levi Its almost infinite. One possible configuration, 4) AIM-9 Sidewinder Air to Air missiles, 4) AIM-7 Sparrow AAM, 2 wing mounted drop tanks, and a centerline drop tank. Another is 12) 500lb bombs, 2) wing mounted drop tanks, 4) AIM-9 AAM's, and a centerline mounted 20mm cannon pod. This is a Navy F-4 Phantom, so they never had an internal 20mm cannon.
They cycled a reserve squadron through carrier quals back in 87 and it was a joy to see those old birds, along with a squadron of F8's give those hornets a run for their money. They were showing their age compared to the fresh new 18's
We had a squadron of corsairs on the Ike, the damn steering would break on them when they hit the wire and the hot chockers would risk their asses throwing chocks under them so they wouldn't roll around. Happened more than a few times. Glad to see those man eaters go.
Look, every single one of you, at those bombs. That's what your leaders prefer to buy over textbooks, medical supplies & food. Wtf is wrong with you ppl that you don't see a problem there?
+Kevin Gault heh and thus it is that you reveal your ignorance of the real global situation as well as the poor education your country has provided you.
Who thinks if USA took away the military and spent the money on education? What would happen to the USA? Compleat destruction? Taken over by a militant country? Or compleat peace?
+unanonymous person I never said anything about completely getting rid of the military. But if you can't look over your own post & see why more education spending is needed, well thanks for proving my point lol.
+unanonymous person nah,you just made yourself look like you trip over your knuckles frequently. If your society & infrastructure are crumbling and you have the biggest military in the world that's much bigger than actually needed, then it's time to really weigh the pros & cons. I direct you to the words of the most famous marine General, Smedley Butler: "War is a racket".
That's you opinion and to take other people's quotes is also your write, the real truth is you don't know anything about what your saying is fact, you have the media to tell you what's happening but the truth is you know as much as I do so we are orangutans walking along the road of deception together, so get back in your cadge and tell me something you know that is fact,
+unanonymous person says the idiot that can't even string together a coherent sentence. Go read some books, learn how to think & get back to me when you're not quite so derpy
That is very aggressive, dose that not show intelligence? Bars do not a cage make, nor anger do not a person make, why don't you take your ideology somewhere people will listen to you?
Iv just looked at your previous post, you say the same over and over, why don't you do something about it instead of letting out your anger on others,no one has done you harm it's an F4 phantom in question an old aircraft. It's not a debate about government spending.
+Darth Minty on the contrary, I received a very good education but then I wasn't having to rely on the government for it. My parents worked for a living. I live in a federal government and not a socialist one that you and the left want us to be.
+Kevin Gault that is such a face palm moment & shows such a poor understanding of what the words federal & socialist means, on top of making a stupid assumption. Seems like your good education didn't teach you much about thinking critically.
+Darth Minty You show your own ignorance if you don't know the difference between a Federalism and Socialist state. You should know your facts before criticizing. Thanks for playing your own ignorance card.
+Kevin Gault Ok dummy. First it's a Federal Republic, get your words straight. Federalism doesn't always imply or require a republic, although they're often hand in hand. Go look up all the (many) socialist policies the u.s has practiced since long before you were born.
Why does it always come down to personal attacks? A thread showing the awesome capability of an aircraft becomes a string of insults and personal attacks. The only thing missing now are the Yo Mama So Fat jokes…😁😁😁
Yeah Darth Minty showed his intelligence calling me a dummy. lol. Maybe if he had the balls not to hide behind a childish name I would take him seriously.
It was a bit silly to post something like that when he knew everyone appreciating Brent's post was going to take issue. Kind of like photobombing, huh? Pun intended.
+Kevin Gault I don't tolerate stupidity or ignorance well. I'm tired of ppl like you who think they're so clever but can't even be bothered to use the words correctly when they're trying to sound smart. No patience for it. If you can't look at the world and realize there are more important things than being able to kill someone you don't know on the other side of the planet then there's a real problem with your so called education. If you can't look at this picture and see the dollar signs taken away from things like critical infrastructure such as highways & schools then you're simply willfully blind, immensely selfish or incredibly stupid, or some combination thereof. I hope Gault is your real last name & not some pathetic identification with a character from a poorly written novel with a discredited philosophy.
+Roberta Stilp it's a visual representation of all the various types of ordinance an F-4 fighter-bomber from the Vietnam era could potentially carry. Those are mostly bombs with a few missiles thrown in for good measure. Every single one costs several thousand dollars plus. And I'm pretty sure there's even some napalm tanks there too.
Yes and the British pilots had a big part in the training at top gun the Americans thought dog fighting was history but as you correctly said mig ally was a dangerous place to be
You got that right you name it it has it
How is this possible?
I've flown one of those
+Elton Xia it's not possible all at once
+Elton Xia its what it can carry
Is that an F4 Phantom?
Buyers like options…
F4 phantom
YEAH THAT'S HOW I ROLL……….
LOL
+Stuart Ponder yes
If u know how to fly it its more awesome
Wat to use wat to use
Rockets!
What's the possible configurations?
+Adrian Levi who r u asking?
+Adrian Levi Its almost infinite. One possible configuration, 4) AIM-9 Sidewinder Air to Air missiles, 4) AIM-7 Sparrow AAM, 2 wing mounted drop tanks, and a centerline drop tank. Another is 12) 500lb bombs, 2) wing mounted drop tanks, 4) AIM-9 AAM's, and a centerline mounted 20mm cannon pod. This is a Navy F-4 Phantom, so they never had an internal 20mm cannon.
The F-4 could carry a larger bomb load than the B-17! And a LOT faster! 🙂
Ajabgojob coming soon. Wildfire, tornado, flood ;earthquake etc
Bring it!!
Take arms several times.
It is not one load it's what it can carry in different loads it won't have 4 drop tanks but two on fuselage or wing tips or all for mo weapons,
Going to war
It could not get off the ground with all that. F means fighter B means bomber, and most of it is carried in pods,
They cycled a reserve squadron through carrier quals back in 87 and it was a joy to see those old birds, along with a squadron of F8's give those hornets a run for their money. They were showing their age compared to the fresh new 18's
+Jim Conner Never got to see the Crusaders, but we had an A-7 we used for ground direction training.
We had a squadron of corsairs on the Ike, the damn steering would break on them when they hit the wire and the hot chockers would risk their asses throwing chocks under them so they wouldn't roll around. Happened more than a few times. Glad to see those man eaters go.
Awesome picture
OMG
One To every illigal bread
Look, every single one of you, at those bombs. That's what your leaders prefer to buy over textbooks, medical supplies & food. Wtf is wrong with you ppl that you don't see a problem there?
Lol ^^^
Just because our leaders can't balance a budget, don't knock the defense of this country. Don't like it? Move to another country.
+Kevin Gault heh and thus it is that you reveal your ignorance of the real global situation as well as the poor education your country has provided you.
Winged death, in all its explosive power.
Who thinks if USA took away the military and spent the money on education? What would happen to the USA? Compleat destruction? Taken over by a militant country? Or compleat peace?

+unanonymous person you are too dumb apparently to get the point I was making. Please, don't talk to me anymore, your stupidity is painful.

What's going on in the picture
That's a fact jack

Very good and no cannon because no dog fighting skill so they realised this and opened top gun
+unanonymous person all the later versions of this aircraft had cannon after all the problems they had in MiG alley
Yes and the British pilots had a big part in the training at top gun the Americans thought dog fighting was history but as you correctly said mig ally was a dangerous place to be
Nice aircraft love its payload options
I love it when someone comes into a post to preach "their" gospel. Even though it has nothing to do with the post.
On things in public or anything you keep your religion or beliefs out of it. And stay on the subject
Did you know making one missile cost one million dollars to make and that plane 3 to 5 million to make
Think about it
Sebody find a pic of that thing actually loaded.
QF-4 drone and more than enough JDAM.
That's soooo veeeery impressive
Napalm bombs and Bullpup missiles. Those were the days.
+Reo Cruz now we have thermobarics;)
The Only One, F-4 Phantom
Love the B model Phantoms. Could this be an early model. Perhaps the original (so called) F-110? Nose looks short.
+Kurt Burgess I think this might be the prototype F4H-1F
