aahh! The old F4 Phantom. Great fighter, still can't out run a Stinger Missle. Just a Sniper of the Sky here. No need to worry.

Anyone ever watch this show. I don't think they have ever worked on a car/truck in it.
Pictures on the walls, Nice antique gas pumps.
They should have a show called REAL CAR GARAGE

I worked on f-4's in the AF and we had white epoxy floors, tool boxes with each tool cut-out so you could tell at a glance if something was missing, a tool crib with all your specialty tools in bins inside, a parts ordering desk (with free parts!to me, not to taxpayers!)and a sheet metal shop and a tire shop within a stones throw. Very nice! We had to keep our stall clean enough to eat off the floor. But, the govt. does it up right you have to admit. It would rival (or top!) any I've seen on t.v.

you've either got the wrong show or haven't watched it that much if you've never seen them work on a car in Dream Car Garage. they work on cars alot. they just haven't in the last couple episodes cause they finished the Hemi Cuda and are just about to start the GT350, and are getting baselines before they start.

Dream Car Garage? Are you talking about the same 30 minute commercial I watch? A big fat guy does a lousy Italian accent to advertise Crown products, than later he drives some very expensive exotic car and asks the same two questions:
#1.Do you really need this car? No.
#2.Do you want this car? Always yes.
The show would be a little more entertaining if they would spend less time doing a sales pitch for the products they are being paid to use and more time talking cars. That is about the same as HotRod TV, Popular Hot Rodding TV, Trucks, Two Guys Garage, etc. They are mostly just advertising.
I watched a show this weekend, but don't remember which one. It might have been Horsepower TV. They took a new F250 Powerstroke and did the full Banks treatment. Must have put somewhere near $5000.00 in parts on this truck, and gained 100 horses. 100 hp for $5000, plus labor?Just a 30 minute commercial for Gale Banks.

I have to agree, it does seem like a big commercial, but it still beats watching lifetime, oxygen, or the w.e. channel on a weekend morning.

hey Bruin, maybe it can't outrun the stinger missile, but ther'll be an AGM-88 HARM missile inbound before the shot ever gets off! F-4's are living proof that if you put strong enough engines on it, anything can fly. They are beautiful, did you see "We were soldiers", I like the part in the end where they buzz the treetops then dump napalm and burn the forest (and the VC') into submission. Anyway, soon we'll have F-35 JSF's that can do the same job, except at mach 1.5 (without afterburners), and be undetectable by radar scope, and the "B" model can even take off and land vertically. USA RULES!

the F-4 was both ugly and beautiful! they patroled the skies over iceland for a long time before the F-15's arrived. ive got a great pic on my wall of two F-4' s escorting a russian TU-95 back to its side of the fence.
i agree...that F-35 is one bad a$$ aircraft. along with the characteristics you mentioned, it also has vectored thrust. there wont be anything in the sky that could out manuver it in a dog fight. not even the SU-27 will come close.

it's the best way to deliver an Aim-120 AMRAAM that I've ever heard of! also capable of passive targeting, which is the sneakiest thing around. No active sensors, recieves targeting info from MILSTAR
satellites, then lets the missile go when he's in range. That Su-27 wouldn't ever know he's there, until there's an AMRAAM inbound. It doesn't matter anymore, though, Russia is our close ally nowadays, it's FRANCE that we have to worry about! Well, not really worry, but they're the next thing that's in our way. They're not capable of beating Turkey, Israel, China, Japan, or basically any modern, and 60% of 3rd world countries. I love France, what can I say? BTW, they DID indeed lose the World Cup, in fact, they didn't even advance.
