I drove out to Fort Smith two years. There is also an F-100, F-16, and RF-101H on display there. I have pictures posted on Facebook, just copy this link: http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=2255699&id=17126934&l=9b4a434c36 04/03/2011 @ 20:21 [ref: 14388]

The picture under the 188 from Ft. Smith is not of 411. I have the pictures of 411 and am proud to say I was the first Crew Chief to crew 411 at Davis Monthan AFB Tucson Az 4453 CCTW. I don't know how to post these pictures of 411 when I was re-united with her in August of 2006. She is now painted grey and sits proudly in front of the Air Guard base along with an F-16.I also have a water colored painting of her on her last flight before being retired which was presented to me by the last crew chief that crewed her. 07/12/2006 @ 13:41 [ref: 5134]

I was at Luke from mid 1971 till the end of 1973. I moved with the F-4's from DM when they did the big switch and DM picked up the A-7's. I was also the crew chief on 411 at one time. I am thinking I was the crew chief on 780 at the end of my tour of duty. Been on so many F-4 over the years it is hard to remember. I was the last crew chief to work aircraft 554 which has two mig kills and is on display at Wright Patterson AFB. I'll check my old photos from Luke and see if I have anything worth sending.

I used to be the crewchief on 63-7411 when I was stationed at Luke AFB, AZ. It was the first Phantom to fly over 5000 hours and we had the certificate in our flight office. If there is anyone with desent photos of 411 I would certainly appreciate getting some. I lost a lot of my photos of it and I'd like to recover some if possible. My e-mail address is texas87@earthlink.net. Tahnks in advance. 09/18/2005 @ 18:39 [ref: 4444]
