Photo Comment

This slide was taken at the Blue Angels hangar at Pensacola not long after the Blue Angels mid-air collision at NAS Lakehurst, which was the last time the F-4s were used by the team. In 1974 153084 was transferred to NATC. Later it was converted to a EF-4J and assigned to VAQ-33 from 1976-80. It was then converted to a DF-4J, spending 1983-85 at PMTC. Retired in 1985 and stored at AMARC.
