Havelock Tourist & Event Center, NC

This is AC# 157342 in front of the Havelock Tourist Center 2008. This was one of two RF's that made the
final flight to MCAS Cherry Point in 1990, marking the end of the last operational RF-4B Phantom.




MCAS Cherry Point, NC
MCAS Cherry Point Website
This was a suprise when I attended the 2009 Cherry Point Air Show and saw the RF-4B Phantom
as part of the displays. AC# 157346 has been on display in front of the Officers Club but the building was being rebuilt so they moved the RF and totaly repainted it. It will be back in front of the O-Club again.




China Lake Museum, Ca.

China Lake Museum of Armament & Technology. AC# 157348 on display June 21 2006.



Naval Air Facility, El Centro, Ca.
Naval Air Facility Website
This is funny. Some one in the Navy has a sense of humor because they put an F-4 Phantom
nose cone on an RF-4B Phantom and pass it off as a Blue Angel. This was AC# 151979.
This is the home of winter training for the Blue Angels.




USS Midway Museum, San Diego, Ca.

This is almost hard to believe but this is the only thing on the USS Midway Museum, a single
RF-4B Phantom Wing Tank, that represents our squadrons, VMCJ-1 and VMFP-3 service to this carrier.
