The F-101's were scrapped or sent to museums long ago. Some of the A-4's
recently (within the last three or four years) were sold off to the
Brazilians, IIRC, after some rebuild and modification work. I'd guess a
fair
number of F-4's are still at AMARC, but a fair number have ended up as
QF-4's, getting shot at by various fighters and air defense systems. As
did
a fair number of the F-102's before them (and some F-106's IIRC?).
The F-4s that were in the best condition (last to be retired) were the
first
ones to be used as drones. They are about out of F-4Gs I think, and are
probably onto the Es now.
Something I read recently pointed to a decline in QF-4 mods in the near
term; wouldn't be surprised to start seeing some QF-16's from the early
blocks (10 and 15) in the near future.
