It was interesting to hear from those who worked with the F-4s when they began using them as drones. Many felt bad that they were no longer in the inventory.
When I first got here they were using F-106s as drones. I do not recall when the last one was used up... Cesar Panama City, Florida P.S. Worked out of Pensacola NAS over a two year period. We were actually docked next to the Lexington. Long gone now... -----Original Message----- From: Daniel J.

Of course, that was basic flight school, without F-4s or any comparable aircraft. I flew F-4s and A-6s in North Carolina, Puerto Rico, Arizona, Japan, Okinawa, the Philipines and Viet Nam. Better use the old hulks as drones than for scrap metal, I guess.
