Good Evening P.E.

As a kid growing up in the North St. Louis area just 3.8 miles from the end of runway 24 at Lambert Field I got to see my fair share of Mr. Mac's products.

In 6th grade one of my friends dad was an Air Force pilot at Macdonnell Aircraft. He came to class one day with a couple of 16mm movies of the Phantom. One of the films was about some of the records the F-4 had set and the other showed a lot of air to ground ordnance work. Imagine showing something like that in a public school these days :-)

A lot of descriptions of the Phabulous Phantonbut the best one I recall was it looked like it had gotten halfway out of the hanger and some had closed the door on it!

I have to call it a nite soon so good one to you and yours

Regards

When you parked them for the night you would hook these 55 gallon fuel tanks to the dump masts. The AGE guys would round them up and use the fuel in the -60’s. If you didn’t hook them up you would have a fuel pond running down the flight line by morning.

They would be an environmental nightmare today.
