I didn't think there were any F-4's still flying.

This is a QF-4, a target drone.

No it's not. Although I do have a few photos of them from Arizona. But this
one is still actively flying as part of the Heritage flight.
I think.

I think you're wrong. 74-1622 was at Oshkosh last July. It's an F-4E
converted to a QF-4E operated by the 82nd Aerial Target Squadron at Tyndall
AFB. That's the only USAF unit operating the F-4, but they are QF-4s in the
role of aerial targets. They have a Detachment at Hollomon AFB in support
of White Sands.

Well, wouldn't be my first time being wrong.
I thought the QF had orange paint applied to be identified as such.

The Collings Foundation has a F-4D flying.

Vietnam Ace Steve Richie was flying her at one time.

Not surprisingly, you're wrong.

BTW... Have you ever got around to reporting my 'forged' headers to Newsguy?
Didn't think so.

Glenn,

The picture shows a QF-4E.
The giveaway is the horizontal thingie atop the fincap, and the two
antennas on the spine, between the ARN-101 antenna and the tail.
