Here are a few pictures of my units F-4's.

Welcome Dave (sorry if i took your name technicily I don't deserve it) well you member #2 next to Scarface2U. Well I guess I havnt introduced myself either, I'm Mike and yes believe it or not I'm not out of High School yet, but one of my favorite aircraft is well, the McDonell Douglas F-4 Phantom. So that is how I got my name. But, I did "serve" in the Civil Air Patrol (C.A.P.) for 1 year. I had to drop it though due to the fact I could not make my squadrens meetings. But I did get something out of it, last summer (not this summer) I went to Otis Air Force base (just before it closed) and was at the Massachusetts Wing 2005 Summer Encampment 190th Cadet Training Group (Alpha Flight). I got to see some UH-60 Black Hawks up close, and see one take off, saw F-15C Eagles every day, rode on a C-130 Hercules, went to N.O.R.A.D. and went to the Coast Gaurd section, saw a HH-60J Jayhawk and a Falcon Jet. So thats the closest to the military I've been. Thanks for joining!!! Also I guess its just proper for me to say, Thank you for serving for our country!!! Welcome aboard Mr. Dave!!!

Oh, I didn't share any pictures, well heres a backround I made for the F-4 Phantom and Phantom II (I've made about 60 backrounds, I get board and a way of learing about these great machines, is to do something hands on so I made some backrounds)
