Tim - great read. Sounds like these fight missions were a great training tool for maintaining grit & nerves, the same type of tools necessary in keeping a bold investment strategy in place years later. Your insights on keeping one’s eyes on your investment strategy & end purpose have changed how I invest, for the BETTER!
Hi Tim. I don't see any mention of the F4 Phantoms. Did you every get to fly any maneuvers with / against them? Funny how back in the day I always looked at the F4 as the "real" fighter jets, and the F5 as a 'trainer". Probably because there were so many F4's on base.
Hi Mike, when I was a FAC in the OV-10 we worked a lot with F-4s, but in Korea and at Patrick AFB in FL. At Patrick I got a back seat ride in one and it was awesome! So much power. As the F-16s started pouring into the inventory, the F-4s, outside of the National Guard, were quickly retired. The F-5 had similar performance to the Mig 21, so made for a good adversary jet.
