mighty F-4F Phantoms

Phantoms at Neuburg

The same which goes for the Tornados is also valid for the F-4F Phantoms at Neuburg, mainting the capability to fulfill their mission during day and night, especially due to the fact that the Jagdgeschwader (Fighter Squadron) 74 provides QRA (quick reaction alert) aircraft on behalf of the NATO.

During my visit 2 QRA aircraft departed late in the evening, shortly followed by a 4-ship training mission. Due to the planned arrival of the first Eurfighter Typhoon for the JG74 in July and the stealthy farewel of the Phantoms their take-off at dawn were quite symbolic to me.
But nevertheless the Rhino can still be admired at the airbase until 2008, and you might also be interested in the photos that were taken at Neuburg during a Spottersday in 2003.
