Well let's see......

If we accept that the Phantom ever carried a designation "FB-4", then
there
must have been a collateral "FB-105"....(and I sure never heard of that
bird).

Now, there was that short lived F4H.....

I never said the designation was actually given to it. The 4 was the
first
to not carry it. I did state the MD classed it as such. You are just
helping the 404thk00ks to destroy another NG, they have a long list of
Military NGs that they have laid waste to. Be careful.


Amazing, old "Selective Recall" himself has trouble remembering what he
claimed.

You're simply a lying asshole, Hunt, a gormless ****** of minimal ability to
comprehend, grotesque incapacity to glance at reference material, and less
intelligence.

So MD (?) called it a fighter bomber. Quaint, since McDonnell designed and
built it back when it was the F4H (and before there wasa McDonnell/Douglas),
because it couldn't be the F4D, because Donald Douglas's stable already hasd
that lovely bat-winged but short legged AW bird, the Skyray, while McDonnell
had the "passing lamented by few" F3H Demon, and the Phantom II (You don't
remember the Phantom 1, the FH-1 or the Banshee, second of the line?).

Incidentally, you silly twit...

The F4 was designed as a carrier based All Weather Interceptor, as
originally configured with no ability to drop ordnance, simply fuel tank
pylons, pylons/racks for the AIM-9 and a belly configured to nestle Sparrow
IIIs comfortably. The first real big time "combat environment" deployment
came after October, 22, 1962, to Key West, VF-101 IIRC, in a pure
interceptor role.

Actually, that's not true.

Are you saying one can post current classified publications on
the
net
and not get in trouble ?

I can see you are trying to twist things into the other person
showing
some
kind of weakness. Now, put your EID kit away and go play
somewhere
else
or
dummy up a bit more. Classifications change faster than the
wind
direction.


Sure daryl, twist it anyway you like.

While you are at it tell us again about the FB-4 nuclear bombers
of
the
1960's.

LOL, you have already been blown out of the water on that one.
Guess
you
are just recycling your old lies. Ask Ed if he ever was on a Nuke
loaded
Phantom. He's already stated he has. But, again, don't let facts
get
in
the way of you recycling your lies. You and Leturd must go drinking
together soon.

There is no question that F-4's darried nukes.
The point of contention was your claim they were called "FB-4"

No one every supported that claim.

McDonnell Douglas classed it as a Fighter/Bomber. Do you mean they are
wrong and you are right?

They certainly did call it that.
So why can't you show us where it had the designation FB-4 in USAF
service.

I already explained why. But that was long ago and you just keep bringing
it up like the 404thk00k that you are.

You gave some lame explanations that no one bought at the time.
And they still do not agree with you.







Standard 404thk00k 3rd grade debating as usual.

I ask simple questions.
Not my fault you can not asnwer them without making an ass of yourself.

Your question is nothing more than another attempt to kill off yet another
Military Usenet Group. How many does that make now, 7 at least?

0, but then we know how you like to make crap up.

You are a odd one to throw rocks concerning aircraft
recognition,
since
you clam to have seen P-38 over Colorado in squadron strength
in
the
mid
1950's
A neat trick since they left squadron service in the late
40's.




The fact is, you would be the first to bag a F-4 mistaking
it
for a
Mig-21
while the AF, Navy, Marine and Army Flyers will be the last
to
make
that
mistake. But those mistakes were made regardless. So you
think
it's
easy?
Don't volunteer for AC Spotter for our side. You will do us
better
to
go
over to the other side and help them.

P-38...

Tell us again daryl...

And you have yet to show me wrong. Now, I suggest you provide
the
proof
that
I was incorrect once and for all. But that would curtail your
EID
attacks,
now wouldn't it, Achmed.

Any number of people pointed out actual USAF documents that showed
the
P38 left unit service in the late 1940's.

And you know that there were no P-38s left in ANY Air Guard Unit
anywhere in
1953? I was told during Tech School that there were NO C-124
Globemasters
left in the Active Duty AF and to just learn enough to pass the
test.
The
instructors said they just didn't get the time to get it out of the
coriculum. Guess what, a few years later, I was at Elmendorf AFB,
AK up
to
my asses with two of them. And the Actives kept a whole lot better
records
and new AC than the Air Guards did back then. But don't let a
little
paperwork get in your way of a good lie.

Not my fault you got exiled to Alaska.
Not suprising given your abrasive nature.




If you are too dense to admit the facts it's not my fault.

And you visited each and every Air Guard Unit in 1953 to verify this
fact?
Hell, kid you weren't even a gleem in your daddy's eye yet.

So it should be fairly easy for you to cite which Guard unit was still
flying them in squadron strenght in 1953..



Simple fact is if there were any in squadron service in the
mid-50's
you
could easily provide the unti they were assigned to.

LOL, you sure believe in everything you read on the internet. Of
course,
only those items that bolster your fairytale.

Since my sources include the USAF site at Maxwell you might wish to
reconsider your bluster.

Nope, your site only cites what was in the ACTIVE DUTY Air Force and has
nothing to do with the Air National Guard during the early 50s. You are
just lying to suit your own story.

You keep it up, even in the face of other folks telling you that you are
wrong.

Your cites are only from Actives. And the 38 went out of service in 49, not
46 like you claim using your own cites.. But it was out of service from the
ACTIVES in 49. Using the C-124 Globemaster as an example, according to all
sources on the net, it was completely phased out of Actives by 1974. Guess
what, there were two stationed at Elmendorf well past that time frame. But
there is no mention of that fact anywhere on the Internet. As usual, if
it's not on the internet, it just can't exist according to you.

Again, if it only had left service with the active foruce why can't you
tell us which Air Guard units kept flying them ?

Come on daryl, here is your chance to be the hero and prove your point.






Are you familiar with how Air Guard units get equipment and from whom
they get it ?

Better than you are, k00k.

Yes, let's ask Ed. From Google http://preview.tinyurl.com/2h5fw5
when
Ed
wrote the following:

The 401st TFW out of Torrejon conducted most of the rotational support
for the Victor mission out of Incirlik, although over the years of the
cold war there were a lot of tactical aircraft that sat alert with
nukes. Torrejon F-4s were originally E-models, but the wing converted
to C's in '73 in a rearrangement of all the USAFE F-4s to standardize
E's in Germany, D's in England and the C wing in Spain. I sat Victor
in an F-4C, but never heard it referred to as an FB or BF.

He's already stated he has.

Yes, he's stated that he sat alert in an F-4C and never heard of it
referred to as an FB-4.

But, again, don't let facts get in the way of you recycling your

He's recycling the very things you yourself have said.

Yes he is. And he's trying to hide the fact he's just a low level
troll.
Besides, I guess the Fighter/Bomber designation from MD says they
haven't a
clue to the own AC usage is supposed to be.

You mean the F-110A ?
Or the F-4C
Or the F-4D and E ? The F-4B being a USN aircraft

Fact is daryl when you start down this path folks might start to think
perhaps you never were in the USAF.

Actually, those folks that spent any time around the early days of the jets
know better and know exactly what I am debating. What is clear is that the
404thk00ks are infesting another

You mean like those who actually flew them ?
The one's who have not aggreed with you on your claim ?





I can see that you are coming to their aid since they are cornered once
again. I thought you had given up on that. Well, you just got demoted
back
to the dismal 404thk00ks. Nice job. You are now wide open for any and
all
criticism that comes their way. Guess you will never learn.


Fact is daryl Yeff pulled up a quote from someone who was there and
actually flew the aircraft.
I'm sorry it does not agree with what passes for fact in your universe.

The fact remains that everyone needs to take a look at a few military ngs
that you and your other 404thk00ks have laid to waste. us.military.army
us.military.history alt.folklore.military us.military.national-guards, and
a few more. All have been laid to waste. And there is no way of know how
many Military Message Bases that you have helped to destroy or have the
404thk00ks locked out of. But it might be entertaining for others to get a
gander at the aftermath.

I see in your haste to beat a retreat from a claim you try to obscure
things.
Fact is daryl, you were wrong.
How hard is it for you to admit that ?

Just because the F-4 was a fighter-bomber doesn't mean it was ever
called "FB-4". The F-15 is a fighter-bomber as well, and it isn't called
"FB-15" either.

I already admitted to that about 7 years ago. But you are playing into the
404thk00ks game here. No, it wasn't but it easily could have been since all
others before it carried that designation. But when you put a B up there
certain agreements with the Soviets became in question. The FB was dropped

Funny but in a previous post you claimed the USAF never used the FB
designation.
Of course in other posts you claimed they had.

and never returned even though you can nuke load out many fighters today and
use them for ground attack as well. You will note that the FA designation
is pretty well gone as well.

That would be news to the USN and the USMC F/A-18 drivers

Look up the example of the classified history of the CIA's involvement
in
the Iranian coup in the 1950s. Short story: the classified document
was
leaked and put on the web. The government did nothing.

Depends who leaks it I supose.. ;')

Not really. Publishing classified material is not illegal in the United
States, with a finite exception--the names of covert intelligence officers
currently based overseas. This is based upon long precedent and the
belief
in the United States that a functioning democracy requires a free press
that
can publish information that the government does not want released.

It's a little more complicated for leaking classified information to the
press. In general, that's not actually illegal--99.999% of people who do
it
get an administrative punishment (i.e. they get fired, fined, or lose
their
security clearance). They don't go to jail. Only one person has gone to
jail for this, Samuel Loring Morrison, back in the 1980s. There is
currently a case before the courts where the government is trying to
convict
two people for accepting classified information and making if public.
Whether they will be convicted of that is an open question.

Put it this way:

Person A, a govt. employee, gives classified information to a foreign
govt.
He goes to jail for espionage.

Person B, a govt. employee, gives classified information to a newspaper
and
gets caught. He gets fired or given an administrative punishment. It is
highly unlikely that he will go to jail. (And it is worth remembering
that
top level officials leak classified information all the time. People in
the
White House leak information to newspapers to make the White House look
better. That's how the game is played in Washington.)

The newspaper publishes classified information. Nothing happens to them.


If you're interested in learning about the subject, go to the FAS
website
and read multiple issues of Secrecy and Government Bulletin. You'll
get a
sense of the limitations concerning the press and classified
information.

I may give them a look.

Read up on the AIPAC case.

If it's not on the Internet or it doesn't agree with Tinkerbelle then it's
untrue. You are wasting your time with that low level troll.

tell us again about the Air Force flying P-38's in the 1950's.

I'd rather hear about the geosynchronous satellite over the Kamchatka
Pennisula

redc1c4,
then we'll get into the *real* howlers.... %-)

The list is sizeable. Enough for kicks and giggles for several months.

The F-4 still flies as the QF-4 target drone at Tyndall AFB, if we can

My neighbor, Bob Downey, flew several of the big Thompson racers in
the post war and later the 85 hp Continental "Midgets". That and
running a paint store.

No point to prove here. I was 3 or 4 in 1953 when I asked my Uncle (He was
a Civilian Employee at Lowry AFB at the time and prior AAC, AAF and USAF)
what were those planes in the sky. He said they were P-38s. Now do I
believe him or you? If you dumb enough to hazard a guess on that question
then you are even dumber than even I give you credit for.

Now, hurry up and put your pathetic spin on that. Go ahead. Do it. Get it
over with and go back to you wrecking yet another Military NG.

Many FB-111As were indeed redesignated as F-111G late in their service

never any _other_ "FB"-designated aircraft in the USAF.

There were many more than that but I can see you really won't believe it so
