Yesterday I was flying with a former S-3 "Hoover" guy...he told a "sea
story" where a pair of Allied F-4s and an S-3 were hassling over the Med. He thought they were Greek. Anyway...the story basically has the S-3 heading toward the water in a steep dive (evasive maneuver) with both F-4s in trail...S-3 deploys his spoilers and pulls out while the pair of Phantoms mort themselves (literally) in the Med. What I do know so far...the Greek AF has not lost two F-4s on the same day, so they're ruled out. But the Turkish Air Force did lose two on 17 Nov 83 with apparently four fatalities. I was in USAFE at the time but don't recall anything about the nature of their loss. Comments? |
