Photo Comment

A pleasant surprise to see an ex 32 TFS F-4E Phantom at Mojave! It served at Soesterberg for a number of years before being flown back to the USA. The emblem of its latest unit, 21st TFTS at George AFB is still visible on the intake. After this unit was inactivated in June 1991, its Phantoms were flown to AMARC. In the boneyard, 74-0654 received inventory number FP612. It was photographed at Mojave during its conversion to QF-4E, with conversion number AF259. It was eventually shot down on 27 June 2007.
