Messages scrawled on the nose gear door of a McDonnell Douglas F-4 Phantom II, flown by the 82nd Aerial Target Squadron Detachment 1 at Holloman AFB, N.M., illustrates the dedication and passion of F-4 lovers Dec. 20, 2016. The F-4 Phantom II entered the U.S. Air Force inventory in 1963 and was the primary multi-role aircraft in the USAF throughout the 1960s and 1970s. The F-4 flew bombing, combat air patrol, fighter escort, reconnaissance and the famous Wild Weasel anti-aircraft missile suppression missions. The final variant of the Phantom II was the QF-4 unmanned aerial targets flown by the 82nd at Holloman AFB. (U.S. Air Force photo by J.M. Eddins Jr.)
