@KEREM-TR- 58 F4 phantom Türk Hava kuvvetlerinin envanterinde en fazla olan 1. Ya da 2. di f16 ile yan yana lar yani ve dünyada kullananlarda ilklerdeniz ve adam zevkine göre kamuflaj almış olabilir
As an Air Force maintenance man in the 70’s, the F4 was the first fighter I was trained for. Old tech, but still an awesome workhorse that did everything.
I was aboard the USS Ticonderoga CVA-14, off the coast of North Vietnam in 1969. I loved to stand up on Vultures Row and watch these things take off and land after their mission. We had a ringside seat to the drama of fast-paced flight deck operations in a combat zone.
Oh boy was that a treat. You picked a perfect day to fly, clouds in the back ground, sun glistening off the wings and fuselage, roar of those turbines brought back some awesome memories. Now if you can burn it a little richer to make the jet fuel smoke...man that would be the icing on the cake Thanks for building this beauty and sharing it with all of us viewers.
Always loved the F4 - it became an icon in 'Nam and despite its few combat negatives was still a superb aircraft. The anhedral stabilizer is instantly recognizable, along with dihedral wing tips.. This is a superb model - excellent and exciting flight - a joy to watch. Very nice slow roll and low passes etc - perfect landing (both!). Only thing missing - two smoke trails! :)
That was my primary "gripe" with this, and almost _every_ F4 model. The telltale black smoke when the pilot would "step on the gas". I wish more modelers would add a smoke tank for that effect!
Gorgeous aircraft and spectacular flying characteristics as.well as superior piloting skills!! Congrats on your first and second flights. You have reasons to be PROUD!!
Greek bad eye brought it down!!Apart from the joke it is an amazing RC.Very good job.l!Phabulous Phantoms Phorever!Proud being a Greek,to have it still in the skies!
Awesome F4 Phanthom, excellent flying and super scale! Hard to tell from the full size in the flight sequences, that is until the gear goes up or down, if he could slow it down a bit, it would be the complete package!
부동산드론 [Property drone] no expense is to much when it’s the tax payers money! A Tomcat with the nose gear dropped for a cat shot, in zone 5, just gives me chills 🤣
Nice to see the Turkish Air Force F-4E with the markings and serial number of Konya Air Base (3rd Main Jet Base) where I have served 18 months in 1982-83 during the times of F-100 Super Sabre.
Always enjoy seeing the F-4E. Was privileged to work on the fire control system (radar) during my service with the USAF 1968-1972. Loved the smoke from the twin exhaust and the sound of the real ones.
_Hi Gerry. Thank you for your great comment. Well ... it's tricky to imitate the black smoke on Rc aircrafts, but maybe someone will find out how to do._
@@RCScaleAirplanes Thanks for responding and my apologies for not saying how much I enjoyed your video. The plane looked like the real thing throughout.
@@joshuathomas8529 Bwahahahhaaaa..... The problem with spellcheck is that it can't point out that "DOSE" = an amount of a drug, while "DOES" was the word that you were trying for. Oh.... BTW, I'm just a high school graduate from back in a time that they actually taught useful things not just political correctness and socialism. ;^) Keep tryin', kid!!
Incredible aircraft even looks like it has brakes. Amazing pilot and videography. That slow roll WOW!!.... this was a pleasure to watch, outstanding performance.
As an American I always thought the nicest F-4E schemes were the various German and Japanese schemes and Greek. And a German does a Turkish which looks similar to the U.S. SEA scheme. Interesting how everybody sees things differently. Really loved the way he flew.
Very well flown and landed The filming was excellent ...And of course you are flying one of the best fighter bombers of all time...No I am not bias...🤗
Die Phantom ist ein toller Flieger. Du hast Sie einfach perfekt vorgeflogen. Tolle Landung!! Ich habe schon als kleiner Junge bei uns in der Nähe am Zaun gestanden, wenn die Jets mit viel Getöse gelandet sind. Leider habe ich auch einen Absturz live miterleben müssen. Beide Piloten haben aber unverletzt überlebt. (RAF Wildenrath)
Vielen Dank für deinen tollen Kommentar. Früher gab es öfters mal einen Absturz bei der Luftwaffe. Scheint, dass diese Zeiten glücklicherweise vorbei sind.
What was the issue with the turbines in the start of the video? Can you save the plane on just one tubine, if one of them stop in the air, or will it be difficult to fly and too less power?
After the 1st. landing, they couldn't find any issue. Since the power to weight ratio, it is able to fly safely but unable to perform a show flight. Weight: 21.8 kg / 48 pounds (dry) / Turbine: 2x JetCat P130 RX *_thank you for your kind comment_*
Thank you for this video. I worked with the rf4c at Shaw afb south Carolina. I was an imaging interpreter. Would love to see some cameras on one!! Rich
Phantom is one of the most beautiful aircraft. The best model! Perfect piloting. The chassis works unique and clear landing. Which camera was shooting the video? Good picture!
simply amazing. Great flight, great landings, the first one was the most perfect RC landing I've seen! Hyper-realistic performance except landing gear, it's incredible, that scale of model didn't influenced into plane behaviour as it happens in many other RC planes.
Very nice, got everything just right except the black smoke trail. Stuck a couple perfect 3 point landings too. Do you have to take out rear seat bucket after each flight? LoL
@@RCScaleAirplanes I worked F-4's in the Navy and then later for the Air Force as a civilian. I was an Egress-man, AME. Anybody who ever worked them knows, especially Navy guys where they controlled crash land on a carrier, 2 out of 3 sorties, rear seat bucket has to come out to change the radio mostly but Nav unit, auto pilot and gyro are under there too. Among a few other more robust do-dads. I've worked on several fighters. None came close to being as difficult to work on as the F-4. I had several modified, one job tools in my tool box and many of my sockets had a beveled edge on the hex side. Most had plumbers putty stuffed in them to hold nuts as I'd put on 2 long extensions an install that bugger way back in a deep dark, nasty, dirty hole. Bleed air valve for cooling pkgs. comes to mined. The plane was built from the inside out and stress panels all over. They leaked hyd fluid something terrible. Door 22 anyone? They took a beating and kept coming back though. Cheers
@@x-man5056 _Thank you very much for the explanation. It seems you've had a hard time working on the F-4_ Also some Rc airplanes can be horrible to work on. It always depends on how complicated they are. The bigger they are, the easier to reach the components inside. Most of the jets has a service door on the upper part of the fuselage, which allowes you to change the batteries and to read the parameters on the ECU of the turbine during the startup. Once the turbine runs, the door can be closed and the plane is ready for takeoff. You can see it at another of my videos >>> ruclips.net/video/jrIe08ZqyY8/видео.html *_Cheers, RCSA_*
Fantastic!! The only thing that doesn't look scale are the main gear tires, they look too thin, other than that, everything else looks awesome! Very well done.
It says there was a turbine problem before the first landing. How did the pilot know? Did he have remote instruments? The first landing was so smooth, bravo!
Yes. He recognised a lost of power while climbing. That was the reason why he came in to check. As you can see, he was wondering that both turbines were running good after landing. Safety first !!! 😉👍
Awesome plane. Landing gear extension speed is too fast in "4:47" I think. It may be dangerous during flight under certain conditions. It'd be better to delay the retraction/extension of landing gear and make it a little bit slower.

Great ! Markings are belong to Turkish Air Force that indicates this phantom from 3th main air base (at the Konya City) with classic Vietnam camouflage...
