RadiO, if only it were so, but seriously, that was one lucky fella getting a posting out in the holy land (F-4 wise that is).
Cheers, Dazza.:D

Dazza,
He came back last July, sadly. But I can see it now…
“Unit two-zero, check in.”
A GAF F-4 comes over the threshold. Dark smoke whirls from its tires as it hits the deck.
CLICKCLICK. Whhirrrr-
“Unit Two-zero, Check in please…”
With a screech a two-ship of F-117s burn across the field and break.
CLICKCLICKCLICKCLICK Whirrrrrrrrrrr –
“Unit Two-oh, there’s a situation out at Area 12. Check in.”
An F-4F rolls up to Last Chance. The pilot moves the control surfaces in turn as the “Bear” waves for the camera.
CLICKCLICK Whirrrrr-
The whine of its engines momentarily becomes a harsh roar as the engines move experiementally to Military power, then throttle back to idle.
“Unit Two-Zero, you’re at the runway perimeter. Again. And that’s your camera I can just hear auto-winding there, but it’s hard to make it out over the sound of that Phantom out at Last Chance.”
The ‘Toom moves smoothly out to the runway, its engine sound peaking as the nozzles sweep past the lens. The air becomes warmed, tanged with kerosene.
“I’ve got binoculars, you know.”
A mighty ROAR!
CLICKCLICKCLICKCLICKCLICKCLICKCLICKCLICK – Whirrrrrr click.
“Unit Two-Zero?”
“Er, yeah?”
“Ah, forget it.”

RadiO, I think I probably speak for absolutely at least one or two people when I say, you should demand that your college buddy on the exchange posting take as many pictures of the resident aircraft at Holloman AFB (especially the F-4’s) as is humanly possible. Just a thought.
Here’s hoping Dazza.:7
