This information came from the McDonald Douglas Modeler club. The information includes the T.O. references, paint code and more. A lot good information for Phantom modelers.

Tornado drawing
This aircraft to me is a kool looking fighter aircraft. The First time I was the aircraft in person was at Red Flag 1983. The thing I can recall was the maintenance crews complain about engine problems. It seems like they where changing engines daily. Sadly they are all gone like the phantom.

Best fighter during Vietnam
I knew this but did didn't know the ratio to loss rate. Too bad the F-8 was just plain worn out before the Vietnam war.
Thank to Robin Olds was sent to Vietnam for the Air Force. Using the strengths of the F-4, he changed their tactics and made a huge turn around in air to air combat. The Air Force also adopted gun pods on the center pylon and outer pylons, making them versatile. Col. Old's tactics and te-training of Air Force pilots, was a game changer.
