Minnesota ANG RF-4C's 1978

Post by PaulN » Sat Mar 30, 2019 1:55 pm

Hi All

As promised to Simon , after his F-16 ADF post here are some RF-4C's of the 179th TRS taken on a very wet visit to Duluth in April 1978 , not really good conditions to take photographs but managed to savage a few :thumb:

Thanks for taking the time to have a look , hope they are not too "wet" :lol:

Cheers

Paul

Very nice to see these rare pics of one of the lesser known ANG units which I don't think ever made it over here.

Thanks guys :thumbs:

No I dont think they did come over with RF-4C,s, They did stand alert with F-4Ds at Ramstein when the F-4E,s were going back to be replaced with F-16s

Thanks for looking

Paul
