F-4 Phantom in the Vietnam War

history !!a mighty bird and still flying

Quote:
.....there are 2 planes as well as the Phantom on the clip at 1:24.....the plane on our left is the McDonnell Douglas F3H-2 Demon and the plane on our right is the McDonnell Douglas F-101 Voodoo.

Pardo's push was very real. Crews ejected from both aircraft. Bob Pardo received several medals for the action.

great plane, great music man!!!!!!!

i watched it with Dark Tranquility -Of Melancholy Burning at the background,then music made no problem:)

"...So wounded plane dropped its arresting hook and the other one placed it over its windshield and pushed it until safe zone. during that time, wounded plane lost its second engine...)
Bulls***!!!

Great video with outstanding music, loved it.

A very nice video of the legendery F-4,go on SAS

finally a good F-4 video

Too much Rock'n Roll after 1st song. Early 60s. For me, it doesn't fit with Vietnam Era. Late 60s would be much better, I think. Jefferson Airplane, Rolling Stones, Jimi Hendrix..etc.

F-101 Voodoo, I guess.

Any one doesent like 60´s music??? what do u expect a video from that time?

interesting story yigit...01:24 looks like a starfighter with an f-100 nose,what plane is it?

nice video.
first time, i saw a F-4 one seated version
end of the video, we can see phosphorus bombardement for Vietnam forest where vietnamese kids and women were living :(

Ya I remember hearing story's about stuff like that.
Sweet Video.
What kind of music did you expect? Mabey Some Hip Hop? That was the music of the time live with it. I wasnt even alive then and I know that.

I remembered it a little wrong. now I found it. It is called Pardo's Push.

I read it in Osprey books: F-4 MigKillers. I will try to find it for details. But the event is like this. One of the F-4s in a strike package was wounded so badly. One engine was out, I think. They were still behind enemy lines. So wounded plane dropped its arresting hook and the other one placed it over its windshield and pushed it until safe zone. during that time, wounded plane lost its second engine. When they were in safe zone, crew of wounded plane ejected. I will try to find exact story. USAF F-4s BTW.

yigit must mean towing? so that phantom is so strong that can tow another??
at least with phantom many innocent "communist" died

Nice video

nice vid,yigit can you explain your story or provide a link?

Nice vid but most of the music is quite terrible.

A MigKiller, a plane which can carry another wounded F-4 into safety by pushing its arresting hook on its windshield.
Music could have been better though.
