Sitting on the taxiway waiting for permission to taxi out for take off for the last time from Iceland. The sun was very low on the horizon. This really gives a very good view of the last F-4 to leave Iceland.
This is the real 66-300, not the one that was displayed outside the Air Forces Iceland headquarters from 1993 to 2007 and still exists in Iceland. This aircraft is marked up as the 57th FIS commanders plane, and was the last F-4 to leave Iceland.
The last F-4E Phantom waiting to taxi onto the runway for departure at 1100 hours on 18. November 1985 as one of the new F-15Cs takes off. The sun shines horizontally on the aircraft at this time of year and day. 66-0300 was sold to Turkey in 1987.
