The last known Phantom to ever fly thru the canyon. Flying from Pt Mugu to Hill AFB in Utah a pair of these beautiful QF-4E's managed to find their way thru the world famous Star Wars Canyon to the wonderment of the lucky few to have been there. All US QF-4's were retired in a ceremony at Holloman AFB on December 21 2016. This photo is copyright © Dan Stijovich, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
