Just a little more info on the QF-4 for anyone whos interested, as already mentioned the F-4 is a drone and it belongs to the 82 ATRS, it is also part of the USAF’s Heritage Flight.
There are four F-4s in the Heritage Flight with each one painted in a different camo scheme representing the four main camo schemes worn by USAF F-4s during its service life, the schemes are; SEA, SEA wraparound (illustrated), European 1 also known as Lizard and Hill Grey also known as Egypt 1.

P.S. superb photos! 🙂

Great shots Wys, the jet you overtook which was at FL400 looks like a HS/BAe 125, never realised the little buggers could get that high! 😮

PII, with regard to the Rhino driver having ‘fun’ in such a formation; two WWII era piston engine planes = slow(ish), one fly-by-wire F-16 (toy) = easy to fly, one real airplane (F-4) with no computer and a hell of a lot weight/inertia = a lot of stick n’ rudder and throttle compared to the rest of the formation! 🙂

I bet the Rhino driver was having ‘fun’ keeping in close formation with that lot!

I’m sure they’ll perform re-heat take-offs, if you get some good pictures of any F-4s at the show – particularly the Heritage Flight – be sure and post them here for all to see! 😉

I agree, one of the few pieces of ‘family silver’ that hasn’t been sold off to the highest bidder!

Just to clarify things, BMW does NOT own Rolls Royce Aero Engines.
