[simpits-tech] ACES-II ??

[John Miguez]

Yes Marc.  I flew the RF-4 for most of the time.  Later I flew the F-4C
in the ANG for a couple of years.

Hi John,

this makes me feel better now - so I know I saw correctly ;o)

You have flown the F-4? Wow! It must have been a great job.

As the German AF still flies the Rhino, I am enjoying to see them quite
often. Now the first unit is getting equipped with the Eurofighter
Typhoon
(first 5 aircraft arrived this week) and the Rhino's days are counted
here
also. Last week I saw a TV feature on scrapping our Phantoms. Oh, it did
really hurt when that bogous caterpillar made aluminum chips out of the
pit
:(((((

Cheers,

Marc
