Thanks for looking sir. That airframe had the callsign "showtime 100".
The model isn't entirely correct, being an F-4S... the paint is semi-historical. The real one (F-4J) of course was made famous on May 10, 1972, by Lt. Randy “Duke” Cunningham over Vietnam.
Im sure you know the whole story :thumbup:

Not to forget Willy "Irish" Driscoll as RIO. They made it back to the carrier by helo after being taken out by an SA-2 Guideline.

It must have been impressive watching an F-4 and a MiG-17 in a vertical scissors move.
