I'm right there with you. They won't be around forever. I'm sorely disappointed I never got to see an F4. At least not one in flight. The AF just had the last manned F4 flights this past week as well. It culminated in a four-ship supersonic pass over Holloman AFB, followed by AB patternwork. Pretty awesome.
Lol, be happy. When I was a firefighter at Carswell, the 301st flew F-4Es ... 'round the clock IFEs. Also prone to flaming the engines on start-up.
