The Phantom was a beast! My dad was tied to an RF-101 squadron that flew tactical reconnaissance, mostly over Cambodia and Laos. He was in the region between around 1960-1966. He was an intelligence officer so did not fly missions, but lost many friends as well. My dad is my hero too.. as are the many millions in the service who've risked and/or given everything.
