This is a QF-4, a target drone.
No it's not. Although I do have a few photos of them from Arizona.
But this one is still actively flying as part of the Heritage flight.
I think.


I think you're wrong. 74-1622 was at Oshkosh last July. It's an F-4E
converted to a QF-4E operated by the 82nd Aerial Target Squadron at Tyndall
AFB. That's the only USAF unit operating the F-4, but they are QF-4s in the
role of aerial targets. They have a Detachment at Hollomon AFB in support
of White Sands.
