Was reading through my Spirit in the Skies book the other day, and I got to the section on laser-guided bombs. It’s quite incredible how many types of bombs and targeting pods the Phantom has carried over the years. The Litening series wasn’t even listed in the section, I guess because it’s a relatively new edition to the Phantom arsenal.
Anyway, I just wanted to see how many pictures we can come up with of F-4’s carrying laser or TV-guided bombs. Vietnam-era photos are fine, but since those are so common, see if you can find pictures of USAF Phantoms in their later years armed with these weapons as well as Phantoms of foreign nations armed with them.
Targeting pod pictures will do as well.
Happy hunting….
