191ST Fig F4-C/D camouflage schemes

Have been meaning to post these view of the Six Pack Phantoms.   From 1983 to 1995 I was the maintenance controller for 191St.  Col Skip Kimberly called me into his office. Knowing that I was a modeler and aircraft historian he give a tasks.   I was to provide Tom Wagner as much history as I could get on these phantoms.   As we had all the aircraft aircraft logs.  All the information was to be organized as  were the aircraft where overhaul, what  units we came from. Plus answers Tom question.  I knew Tom from the Warren Chapter of the IPMS.   Tom was a great modeler. Also he several  articles for the IPMS magazines.   This part of the article appeared in the 1987 spring issue.  Not long after this we had been to prepare for F16A's from Moody AFB. 

It should be noted one of the aircraft had McClellan AFB scheme.  While two more had Hill AFB schemes F4-D schemes.   I do not a have a picture of the McClellan scheme.  Also if you look closely you will see the markings kind of evolved.  From a large chevron to two chevron before the final configuration was picked.   As the F4 D's came back from depot overhaul the all had been modified to have F-15 center line tank that didn't have G restrictions.  During 1987 to 1998 the unit had about 38 different F4 D's process through us.  Some ended up in Oregon (Portland) other to Califorina  (Fresno).
