That one never served with the 81TFW. According to Joe Baugher it crashed near Bayport, Long Island, NY. on April 19, 1968 while assigned to the 479TFW.

Nope, that one never served at Bent/Wood either. At the time it was assigned to the 49thTFW at Holloman.

Clutching at straws a bit here, but how about 65-0716?

Afternoon
I also attended this show. I have looked through my original log from the day, and I have the 4th. listed as 66-7615. But It is likely that I got the serial off of someone on my coach-the other F4's in the flypast that I have listed tally with the other 3 listed in EGVP's post.
Hope this helps-sorry if I have stirred the pot!!

I've also seen 66-7615 quoted so maybe it is the missing one.
