Bonnie Tyler - Holding out for a Hero | F-4 Phantom

McDonnell Douglas F-4 Phantom II fighter-bombers of the US Air Force, US Navy, US Marines, and Royal Navy Fleet Air Arm.
The actual video itself is in 4:3 but I am a moron, and thus the upload is 16:9.

Bonnie Tyler certainly had an impressive collection of RC planes to capture all this footage!

I grew up in St. Louis in the 50’s and 60’s and watched these guys being flight tested on a daily basis. I never realized how badass this beautiful killer was until I got to Vietnam.

After 60 years, the F-4's wings are still of the most beautiful ever to be attached to the fuselage of any aircraft.

Proof that if you strap enough horsepower to it, you can make a brick fly. I love the F-4

[Benkerosadon]

Thank you "Little Angels." I was always so glad to see you. I made it home from Vietnam because of you. Thank you as well God.

Love to see them fully loaded for bear in Vietnam colors. I’m 62 and this is still one of my favorite military aircraft. I remember building a Revel Phantom model as a kid back in the 70’s.

My own small debt to F-4 Phantoms comes from the fact that the arrival of a bunch of them in Port Stanley, Falkland Islands, enabled me to get home for Christmas in 1982.

I was in an A-4 squadron in the 60s. The Phantoms on our bird farm carried a heavier ordnance load than an A-4's max gross takeoff weight. Color me impressed.

I come from a Navy/Marine Corp family and I grew up loving the Phantom. Still a masterpiece of USN AirPower. Fly Navy!

[poky]

when i was serving aboard the Uss Enterprise, a seasoned pilot, told me that the F4 was dollar for dollar the best fighter ever built.

[anangryranger]

I still remember the sight of F4's streaking across the skys as I lay back in the rice patties laying down fire into the enemy. God love those pilots in those Phantoms! A sight I'll never forget.

The phantom is a HERO !!!! great tune !!!

[donholiday]

The phantom was a hero when we needed one .

[peterlutz]

When the world needs heroes, the U.S. Soldiers, Sailors, Marines and Airmen fill the bill!

[guitarlover]

The most beautiful and effective flying brick ever built ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[davidbowman]

Most beautiful man-made master piece ever to grace the skies. ❤

I believe the F4 Phantom II once held a lot of records during its service life in North America. I think it was around 15. It is a brutishly overpowered, if not incredible, old jet. Some airforces still have them in service.

Go phabulous phantoms, and go VF 74! This video is simply phantastic.

[arthurchadwell]

As they said in about half of the episodes of Tour Of Duty... " The Phantoms are coming!" 💛

[geemanone]

Still my favorite airplane of the modern jet world! Great video, thank you for putting this together!
