F-4D's Have Returned to the VT ANG at KBTV

Post by mikewmac »

Back in the day the VT ANG flew F-4D's for several years before transitioning to F-16A's. Now with the release of Mike Pearson's NMAI F-4D package, virtual F-4D's have been able to return to the VT ANG at Burlington IAP. :D

Below are a few random screenshots taken today. :D

Enjoy,

Mike M.

    Brian,

    I live just outside of Burlington and used to see and hear them all the time. They were very fast, very loud and very smokey. :lol:

    Of course I've watched the VT ANG fly P-47's, P/F-51's, F-84's, T-33's, F-89's, F-102's, EB-57's, F-4's and F-16's. The only ones that I got up close and personal with were the T-33's, F-102's and an old "Gooney Bird". Oops! I guess I just dated myself, didn't I? :lol:

      I think the scenery is the one from Brian Gladden, available here : http://library.avsim.net/download.php?DLID=40851

      There is the sema hangar in this scenery.

      Yes, that VT ANG hangar is from Brian's scenery, but has been moved to a more realistic position on the ramp. Most of the other scenery on the civilian side of the runway is Brian's and I placed all the scenery on the VT ANG side myself. I did this several years ago and it is somewhat dated now and in need of a complete update. :( :lol:

        Barry,

        No, I was out of the VT ANG by the time they were flying the F-4D's, so I wasn't able to get any photos up close and personal. However, I do have some more recent photos of the 2 remaining VT ANG F-4D's that I supplied Mike P. for his repaints. I'll hunt them up and post them here when I get a chance. :wink:

          Barry,

          Below are a few photos of the real VT ANG F-4D's. I took some of these and some were taken by other folks. I have a lot of detail photos that I took of AF 66-712, but I won't bore you with those. :lol:

          BTW...I know the pilots whose names are on the repainted and still in existence AF 65-793 and AF 66-712. I grew up with one of them and played high school football with him. One is now a retired Brigadier General and the other a retired Colonel :wink:

            Sprocky,

            The smoke is there, but it doesn't show up very well in the screenshots. :(

              Yes, that KBTV AFCAD has much more realistic, modern ramp and hangar parking for 32 fighters, most of which have drive through parking. However, it is still a work in progress and part of a package that I am slowly (very) developing for future public release. So much time has elapsed since I started the project that some of the buildings have been demolished and new ones have been built. So I have a lot of work to do before I can even begin to think about releasing or distributing any of it :(

              Sorry,

                How about this one? Screenshot I took long time back... Smoke fx might be a bit too heavy though. :roll:

                  The original J79s before the upgrade weren't too dissimilar to that in mil power. Part of the reason why our boys always enjoyed ACM against them very useful in a dogfight knowing exactly where the enemy is.

                  Cool screenshots Mike. Brings back memories of the day I was visiting my dad in his "office" at the Burlington airport and the F-4's did a max performance takeoff to the south. I probably have some hearing damage from that...
