No flares on F-4s in SEA. (Photo-flash carts on RF-4s only). No
self-protection chaff carts either. We carried cardboard boxes (about
the size of a box of Xmas tree tinsel) in the speedbrake wells. Open
the boards to deploy. Try not to use speed brakes earlier in the
mission. One time use.
I believe that is correct for Air Force F-4s only, Ed. Navy Phantoms had
internal chaff/flare carriage (mid fuselage, both sides, close to the RAT).
