Phantoms at Ubon
Failed to label this slide, but believe it is at hot and steamy Ubon??? Airbase in Eastern most part of Thailand – 1972. Ubon was just west of Laos, and just north of Cambodia, and was home to F-4 Phantom Fighter Squadrons flying missions into Laos, Cambodia, and Vietnam. Pictured is row of Phantoms parked in revetments … I believe these are USAF F-4C models that were extensively used in Vietnam War along with newer F-4D versions. These aircraft could max out at over 50K pounds, and could approach 1,500 mph. Their pilots had many MIG kills to their credit.
Hi there, these are F-4E models. The TISEO sensor and slatted wing further identifies them as Rivet Haste F-4Es of the 555th TFS, 432nd TRW. The 432nd was based at Udorn, which is probably the location where this photo was taken.
