Gotta give it to the Japanese people, as an American I’m thankful that you guys took a good caring to those Phantoms. Here they’re sitting in museum, but there they going off their limits.
There are hundreds of F-4's at the bottom of the Gulf of Mexico. The Air Force at Tyndall converted them to drones and used them for missile target practice, shooting them down over the Air Force Gulf Range.
@@hanchen2355 in limited service sadly Greece, Iran, Japan, and South Korea are the only countries left using this jet. Japan I believe is the next country to retire their phantoms. Very sad 😢
I was a lineman in a US Navy fighter sqd in the mid 60's at Miramar. The video brought back some good memories. Lots of noise & power. We had just gotten rid of our Demons for the Phantom II's. Thx for posting the video.
I worked with a guy who was a retired full bird colonel from the US Air Force. He pretty much flew all the century fighters including the F4, I once asked him, what was the best physical sensation you ever had in an aircraft, he replied, 400kts on the deck in the F4 always felt pretty good. Kudos to the Japanese for keeping these grand birds flying.

Although this plane's get very high flight speed and climbing rate, it lacks more maneuverability. Remember that the Phantom were conceived as interceptor fighters, rather than multirole fighters like the F-15 Eagle.
@@fightingfalcon1986 Excellent point. The Phantom was conceived for the Navy as a fleet defense A/C. High speed, crazy rate of climb, decent range, great fire control radar and stand off capabilities. It was the forerunner of the F-14 & F-15. The fact that it performed "air to mud" as well as it did is a testament to its' versatility.
A very well done and fitting tribute to the venerable Phantom. Hit the fleet in the early '60s, over 5,000 produced, and still a great aircraft. Excellent video.
I'm by no means a fight plane expert, just a fanboy of U.S. fighter jets and this one is in my top two. Yeah it's 50's technology and I've read that it wasn't the best performing jet out there, but it still looks stunning today as it did when it first came out. What an amazing video!!!! Music, camerawork, images. Stunning. Kudos to those who put this together.
Beautiful film. Thank you. I love the Phantom. Beautiful jet. I can watch it over and over....beutiful job you did. Reminding me my service in the IAF 34 years ago
Majestic, graceful, disciplined choreography of bridled intent, Thank you for this show of will to maintain the privilege of freedom and the commitment to remain free.
Love the Japanese aircraft paint schemes... some of the best I have seen. This video is Outstanding video-photography! And the F-4 is Awesome! Thanks for sharing.
Whoever you are, I appreciate your time and effort in putting this epic video together. The Phantom F-4 has also protected and served Malaysia when I was growing up in the 1970s to 80s. Nostalgic to see it again.
I've seen the F-4 in the German Air Force 1996 / 1997 on the Laage Air Base for Training with the Mig-29. ^^ I was part of the Bell UH-1D Rescue Unit on the Air Base. 23 years later...... Nice pictures of this great Aircraft.
I love this channel. Airplanes are a work of art but this channel portrays them in such a beautiful manner. I believe a non-enthusiast would love your imagery. It's poetic and I'm so grateful!
Growing up on RAF bases in the 70's&80's I'll never forget the sight and sound of Phantoms taking off at night with full afterburners. I've not seen anything to beat that yet.
What a beautiful cinematic piece, music score included. I so respect the Japanese military for cherishing the Phantom and keeping it alive...I wonder with all the other pressing needs in the world, such as poverty, why such an awesome weapon was not enough for nations to have, maintain and keep the peace with as the Japanese have instead of spending trillions in the development of new weapons platforms. Much respect. Thank you.
Thankyou for posting...though I wasn't and aviation Marine (I was a grunt) I was stationed at Kaneohe MCAS back in the 80's, there were x3 F-4 squadrons stationed there.....I loved running down to the flight line during lunch and just watch them taxing and taking off....never got tired of seeing and hearing them.....Miss these guys....
How many of you ever saw the Blue Angels when they flew the F-4's ? I did, and it was an amazing show...those fantastic afterburners and the precision flying...unforgettable..!!
I got to see them and the Jolly Rogers F-4 in the 70's. In 1964, VF-84 transitioned to the F-4 Phantom II . I live in Vieques Island where NAVY used to have a Bombing Range. Grew up watching all kind of US Military Hardware
Jeez!! Those are the prettiest Phantoms I've ever seen! The photography is stunning. They obviously keep them as pristine as possible, but the paintjobs are also very nice.. especially that blue one!!
Well, they almost did! Do a Google search on the following topics: F-14 pilot Joe "Hoser" Satrapa, F-14 vs F-15 AIMVAL/ACEVAL And check out this link: theaviationist.com/2014/08/18/the-story-of-a-legendary-f-14-pilot-and-the-gun-kill-on-an-f-15-that-could-sell-tomcat-to-japan/
Phantasic footage of these endangered birds! JASDF are hero's for keeping these venerable machines in service. I hope their next mounts treat them as well as the Phantoms.
Japan retired Phantoms in 2021 after 50 years in service. South Korea, Turkey and Iran still operating it. Phantom's performance was very impressive in Iran-Iraq war of 1980-1988. The first Phantom ace was an Iranian pilot for shooting down 5 MiGs. Lately, Phantoms are being used extensively to bomb ISIS locations by Turkey and Iran both.
Old aircraft always act like a true gentleman, they fly into a war, dog fighting and probably never came back, die in honour, things that stealth aircraft never understand
Absolutely wonderful video, I love everything about it...the details, the camerawork, the slow-mo, the music, and of course....the subject. Absolutely love the Phantom, always have...the brutal looks, while at the same the gracefulness that can be seen in this video. My favorite Phantom video, that I watch again quite often, just to enjoy. Great work!
Japanese F-4EJ (2 squadrons) will be replaced with F-35A within a few years. (There is also one squadron of RF-4E ). In 2018, we can see F-4EJ/RF-4E at Hyakuri Base ( Ibaraki Airport) which is 2 hours away from Tokyo. In Japan, we can take pictures of fighter aircraft without being arrested.
My grandpa was sent from Hills Air Force base in Utah to Vietnam to work on the F-4 Phantoms his job was to repair the engines wings etc anything that go damaged he fixed it on these birds
KSP is the greatest game ever made. I am also from Germany, but living in America -- origianally from Augsburg. That's all I wanted to say. Prost, my friend!
Stunning videography.....almost brought tears to my eyes to see the birds doing what they do best.......FLY! Like the US, most countries have retired their inventories of Phantoms, save Japan and Turkey and I believe Greece. Now they are used as target Drones in the US, somewhat bittersweet when you think about it.
Amazing to seeing these beautiful old war-birds flying over half a century after their design was first developed. Beautiful cinematography and editing by the 1-300 by the way and also a great selection of music for this video.
When I was in the USAF in the 70s I was an avionics instrument tech on F 4C,D,E, and F models. Also worked on F 105F and g models. You had to be a sports car mechanic to work on the F4.
Proof positive on what has always been said about the F-4......put a big enough engine on a barn and you can get it to fly...beautiful beautiful bird...first time I saw an F-4 on after-burner was at Danang waiting for a UH-34 to take me out to the Iwo Jima to join up with SLF-Alpha and 2/4 3rd Div in ops off the Quaviet...one impressive bird when it goes to after-burners....puts a lot of faith in American airpower...
Andrew Zheng - haha. You hear stories from pilots saying that at low speed these things would rattle to the point they thought the wings were going to fall off
These airplanes are probably F4-EJ Kai models, manufactured by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries in Japan, the last one was made in 1981! Proof that with 2 powerful-enough engines you can make a brick fly :-)
Old, but hard to beat in basics like speed, payload, ruggedness, and room for electronics. And who knows how the Japanese have updated electronics and modern weapons interfaces. It's no doubt deadly against modern threats.
Israel had put modern P&W fan jet (a smaller fan version of the F-15’s F100), and the USAF and the state department, made then cancel the project. Turns out the Phantom 2000 can hold it’s own against the F-15 and other 3rd gen Jets. Boeing and the diplomats can’t have that. Why by new F-15s when the F-4 can carry the same avionics and out preform the Eagle?
Saw them fly over Clark Air Base in the Philippines when I was a kid. F-4E Phantoms painted with a green and brown camouflage pattern. Awesome sight! Beautiful plane!. The book Warbirds by Richard Herman is my favorite novel about the Phantom 2!
I don't often talk to them directly. However, I am making a work because I want to express my gratitude and respect to them. And I want many people to know about their activities and dedication.
I always come back to appreciate this video, and I gotta say, I much prefer this generic track from the youtube library than the one from Zimmer. It makes things even more magical.
Awesome video....Great tribute to the Phantom...I have always loved the F-4 since I was young and would see them fly everyday at the AFB in my town back in the day. It is going to be a sad day when the last Phantom in service somewhere in the world makes its last flight....
as a aviation fan (esp. of the phantoms ) I'm glad to see these great birds in the air where they belong, instead of being hanger queens, ( even if they're wearing meatballs instead of stars and bars). awesome work.
D E . I air refueled the F-4Gs (Wild Weasel) during the Gulf War. They flew the SEAD mission. Usually armed with with a pair of HARMs, AIM-9s and drop tanks. Impressive service during and after the Gulf war.

@Kilo Byte don't forget Tunisia !
@@GunsNGames1 The Swiss airforce still uses the F-5 as does VFC-13, VFC-111 and VMFT-401 in the US.
The japanese ones have been retired as well recently

If we assumed they would use Tomcat as long as Phantom they'd operate it until 2040's... That is why Phantom has it's phanatics. It was made to last.

These airplanes are probably F4-EJ Kai models, manufactured by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries in Japan, the last one was made in 1981! Proof that with 2 powerful-enough engines you can make a brick fly :-)
Worked on F-4C/D/E's in Thailand (Udorn RTAFB); Iceland (57th F.I.S., Keflavik NAS); Germany (Hahn AB, 5oth TFW, 10th TFS, Blue Section).
The greek phantoms spew black smoke from their engines,as expected the japanese have their phantoms perfectly tuned so they don't have black smoke.
Old, but hard to beat in basics like speed, payload, ruggedness, and room for electronics. And who knows how the Japanese have updated electronics and modern weapons interfaces. It's no doubt deadly against modern threats.

The perfect Phantom video,it's really a work of art by a great artist.Simply awesome.
God, these are so majestic. I love that the JASDF is keeping their legacy going.
Rest easy, Samurai Phantoms.
Music for intro was good but then it must fade away and make way for the music of the engines. Just my two cents.
Absolutely. Music all through it wasn't necessary. I want to hear the engines.
