As a former fleet sailor on USS Independence back in the 70's, boy, this was one thunderous workhorse of a fighter! This fighter had power (thrust) to burn and could hold its own in a dog fight (although one of its weaknessess was its average to poor turning ratio); but what an airplane! This dvd goes over most of the F-4's design systems, archival photos of this bird in action, this is a great dvd of a past great fighter!

I worked on these when I was in the Air Force back in the 70s. Great video to bring back memories. Covers both Navy and Air Force models. More technical info than battle scenes.

But, not as good as "Phantom" by Skyfire.

Terrific!...The quality of the video is a little dated. However, the substance of the DVD is excellent, I love it! The most detailed DVD i've ever seen about one of the most Beautiful and capable fighter aircraft (of it's time) ever built by our country. Definitly a must have for all Phantom Phanatics video librarys. The F4 Phantom II is the muscule car of fighter aircraft in my opinion. Long live the Phantoms! The Below listed books are an outstanding resource for the true Phantom Phans.

Fairly technical review of the F-4. Would recommend other works such as "Threshold: A Blue Angels Experience", SkyfireVideo's, "Phantom", and the book, "Phantoms and Angels" for more exciting narratives and visual spectacles.
