Being a former Air Force Fighter Aviator, I really enjoyed this renovation. You don’t see many metal fighter models these days. I’m not sure if those were bombs, more like fuel drop tanks. The F-4 was known to use a lot of fuel. Great restoration, thanks for sharing.

If you’re really a ‘former airforce fighter aviator’ you’d know the difference between drop tanks and bombs….

I believe that those are not bombs on the F-4 but rather drop tanks. Drop tanks are used to give more fuel for longer flight time. Excellent job on the restoration. Your skills are incredible.

The F-4J Phantom II especially the Navy variant with all the squadron and carrier markings is my all time favorite jet. Should have never retired it. My dad served in Vietnam and saw these fighters everyday. When all of my buddies were gushing over the F-14D Tomcat in Top Gun 1 and 2, I was the lone Phantom pilot of the group. Ended beating everyone too in multi-player Ace Combat.

I think it's anything short of miracle that you managed to find a clean cut peace of wing in what ever pile of mud and dirt this was sitting. And it's also a miracle that with all that dirt and rust, metal underneath doesn't have a single rust dent. And it's miraculous how all that rust went away in a instant without any trace when blasted with sand, almost as if it was just a cosmetic on otherwise good condition toy that was just made to look like it was taken out of some garbage dump. Miracle pure miracle!

I figure if you had to spend time and effort on a crap shoot to find the perfect subjects, it wouldn't be worth making the videos. However, there are other restoration channels that do bulk estate auction type stuff and have to get really creative when parts are missing or damaged beyond repair. Still, this is entertaining from a certain perspective. I mean, you watched, didn't you?

I truly enjoyed this restoration. Sixty-five years ago as a combat infantryman in Vietnam there was nothing more we grunts liked than an "Alpha Sierra" (air strike) to help us out on the ground. But I recall us distinguishing who was supporting us, i.e, U.S. Airforce or U.S. Navy aircraft and pilots. I believe we thought the USAF flew the sleek tapered wing as F-104's, while we identified the the delta wing aircraft as USN bombers. In either case, both were welcomed!

Wow very cool! . thanks for watching 👌😊

Te sigo hace tiempo en todas tus restauraciones, te felicito por la dedicación en todos tus proyectos, me gusta mucho todo lo aleatorio que le pones a cada videos, demás esta decirte que eres muy detallista con tus manos mágicas. Disfruto mucho ver tus trabajos, tus herramientas, es algo terapéutico para mi, el paso a paso y la satisfacción de volver a la "vida" todas tus restauraciones. Darles un tiempo más de existencia.
