QF-4S NWTSPM just about ready to taxi out to fly at the 2002 Pt Mugu show. Sadly, after the overhead break to land as the trail ship of a 4 plane formation, this Phantom was lost along with the crew. Amazing how fast things can wrong in what seemed like a routine flying procedure. Made for a very sad rest of the day as the show ended and everyone was told to leave.
