RidgeRunner Posted February 18, 2022 Share Posted February 18, 2022 Hi all, Apologies if I've post some of these before but I re-scanned them and posted them on another forum. I therefore wanted to share them with you. I hope you like them. THey were all taken around the South and Mid West in 1980 and 1982.

canberraman Posted February 18, 2022 Share Posted February 18, 2022 Cracking shots and nicely scanned. What a great time the 80s were for aircraft variety, high vis unit markings and proper camo. Thanks for sharing and for the inspiration to get building! Mark 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpha Delta 210 Posted February 18, 2022 Share Posted February 18, 2022 Great set, thanks for sharing. Those were the days! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Latinbear Posted February 18, 2022 Share Posted February 18, 2022 No need to apologise for ever posting images of Phantoms! A great set of shots and what a treat to be able to see them. As Mark rightly says proper camo and lots of nice, bright unit markings. Thanks for sharing these. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gingerbob Posted February 18, 2022 Share Posted February 18, 2022 I've shared the link with my two airplane chums from that era, one of whom particularly likes the Phantom. I like the "snapshot in time" aspect of this grouping, and agree that the wide variety of colors and markings was interesting. Even the "boring old grey" is nice in company with other flavors.

Robertone139 Posted February 27, 2022 Share Posted February 27, 2022 The third photo with the RF-4C, that dark green seems ominously close to a charcoal grey or black. It seems darker than the blue in the star-n-bar. Awesome reference, especially the single light grey VF-202 F-4N. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having said that the original K25 is pretty much the same 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
