My one hope with this trip was to get some Phantom top side shots having seen the type operationally a number of times I wanted to see them fly low and hit hard and Hyakuri more than delivered. 302 squadron, who’s remaining phantoms will transfer to 301 by the end of march 2019 revealed a last minute black special scheme to accompany the existing white one. The pair were used to demonstrate hitting a ground target and it was incredible to see the phantom work an airspace, flying at high speed all over your head, a sight and sound I will never forget.
