Ah J79s. I was with 104s for four years. They used one J79. I always thought that Phantoms smoked more because of the grade of fuel used.

We had one fellow who used to smoke when he flew. More than once, servicing technicians returned his bean bag ashtray - complete with two butts in it. That guy must have smoked a lot, considering the time in the air was less than an hour without external tanks.

439 Sqn plane in Germany. Not my old unit, but the paint scheme was better than 441 Sqn. This was painted up for a Tiger Meet. The 439 Sqn sqn slogan was "Fangs of Death", which changed to "[bleep] of Death' of course.
