Photos of 171st FIS Michigan Air National Guard

[edpop1944]

Gentlemen,

I live in the USA about 5 miles from Selfridge ANG Base where the 171st FIS was stationed for years. I am looking for photos of either the Phantoms or the Falcons or the Delta Darts of this unit. They had the black and yellow checkerboard design on the tail and the intakes and were very beautiful planes. I have been collecting their photos for years but I am hoping I can get some shots that were taken overseas. If anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Ed

Sorry, not overseas but I think far from home.

Friday 13th June 1986 was the day when all photographers at Soesterberg airbase, the Netherlands got a heart attack when this 171st FIS F-4C Phantom arrived to be used at BDRT airframe.

That Friday 13th I was fishing aprrox 20km from Soesterberg and saw it on long finals....couldn't believe my eyes.

Ed no problem if you save and print them.
