I remembered the USAF did aquire the recon phantoms but they and their
role seems to have disappeared alltogether come the 90s.
Did they get phased out due to spy saterlites or do f-16s have a
secondary recon role that hasn't been used yet?


Tossed in the refuse bin by 1995. Sad, but unmanned systems are available
that potentially do a better job.
