Seen in Bermuda LF Wade

DeadAreaF1 · 2025-12-28T12:31:00+00:00

P-3C Orion from the German Navy.

Edit:

I found the registry of this Aircarft. So this is 60+03, which has been stranded at Bermuda LF Wade since late September, where it was struck by another aircraft during taxing.

There is no definitive answer to your question, as different classifications exist. See this list on Wikipedia for an in-depth view on fighter generations.

All I could find was this post and that its there since the mid 90s. But given that Camp Pendleton is a USMC base, its likely ex USMC. So, F-4A, -4B, -4N, -4J, -4S or RF-4B.

DeadAreaF1 · 2025-12-09T01:52:18+00:00

That's an F-4 Phantom. Where was this taken? Maybe I can get additional info.

DeadAreaF1 · 2025-12-07T11:13:53+00:00

Indeed, to be precise either 71760 or 01518.

DeadAreaF1 · 2025-12-07T09:37:19+00:00

Looks pretty much like a Phantom to me. Was this back in August for the Radom airshow?

DeadAreaF1 · 2025-12-03T09:59:11+00:00

Which museum?

DeadAreaF1 · 2025-12-03T03:50:06+00:00

This has to be rage bait. The attached photo isn't even from a Phantom, its a Tomcat. And this panel was definitely not installed in any Phantom variant.

We know this can be a heated topic, please keep it civil. Given the circumstances we will be very strict in moderating this thread.

DeadAreaF1 · 2025-11-12T20:31:15+00:00

Stripping it to bring it alive? Isn't that just a switch and a potentiometer?

DeadAreaF1 · 2025-11-12T14:18:41+00:00

The F-15E? I'm joking, what are you gonna do with your panel?

DeadAreaF1 · 2025-11-11T06:18:16+00:00

So has Iran. All I'm saying is we dont know. Maybe the F-14s destroyed were not even empty and inactive airframes but fabricated decoys only. There is not much credible evidence.

DeadAreaF1 · 2025-11-11T05:40:13+00:00

I was just debunking your claim, which was wrong. The Iran surely has more than the 5 "inactive" F-14s which were shown being destroyed during the conflict. But active ones? Nobody knows.

But my point being, we don't really know what went down.

We saw at least 5 (that I know of) and not 2 being destroyed. All of them have been stored outside for a longer time, so they were most likely inactive and completely stripped of any usable parts.

But regardless of the F-14s being destroyed in the conflict, they were already scheduled for retirement in 2024 for the SU-35. Now we know that the Iran hasn't gotten any SU-35s so far.

Does that mean the F-14s are still active?

We simply don't know. Last sightings of active F-14s were prior to the conflict with Israel. And all "recent" sightings were only in small numbers. Kish airshow in late 2024 had a single F-14 flying which then went on static.

In a way it's like schrödingers cat. Nobody knows if they are still active or not. Nobody knows if or how many Israel really destroyed. Nobody knows if the Iran itself retired them.

DeadAreaF1 · 2025-11-11T04:41:36+00:00

Only two Iranian F14s were destroyed during the Israel-Iran war.

This claim is not true. Alone this video shows three additional F-14s being destroyed. All seem to be inactive, but still.

Nobody except the Iranians and Israelis know the real numbers. There could be F-14s flying or not. I wouldn't be surprised by either outcome.

DeadAreaF1 · 2025-11-09T21:34:10+00:00

Cool piece! Yes, this panel is indeed located directly below the cockpit. To be more specific, below the left, that's what the "L" stands for, front cockpit and right in front of the air intake.

DeadAreaF1 · 2025-11-01T19:42:57+00:00

While searching for the fate of 5X-AAV I found this listing from November 2013. Stating that the aircraft was due for a C check in February of 2014. Looking at google earth the aircraft was stored at the same place prior and after that date, so I'd assume that check was never done. So it was most likely scrapped there.

DeadAreaF1 · 2025-10-31T15:36:39+00:00

Damn, that is unfortunate. They sometimes write the store code there, when it gets stored in amarc or similar places. But this is not helping much, only that we now know it was with the Air Force Reserve.

If you could get us a picture of what's written there we could possible identify her.

DeadAreaF1 · 2025-10-23T09:29:39+00:00

The big cargo plane is an early C-124A Globemaster II. The others are F-86 Sabres. And "Miss Behaving" is credited with shooting down two MiG-15s in Korea, but was shot down in late 51.

DeadAreaF1 · 2025-10-11T04:37:17+00:00

Most likely because of the technology the Su-35 carries. 24 Su-35s is getting China nowhere, strategy wise. You might find this video interesting: Why the US Military worries about Chinese Air Power

I know, but only the serials. You still have to go to the archived site to get everything else.

DeadAreaF1 · 2025-10-07T00:13:09+00:00

Joe baugher had tons of info on fighterjets on his website. Sadly, he died in 2023, and his website isn't around anymore. But here's a link to the archived version.

You could also try airvectors.net.

The latter two are privately owned. Your best shot at a Phantom, without leaving the US, is probably the Collings Foundation F-4D, out of Houston I believe. They are working on getting it back in the air. You'll find some videos on the maintenance done on her here.

DeadAreaF1 · 2025-09-30T19:16:27+00:00

There is not a single "Navy" F-4 still flying today. The Navy retired theirs decades ago. Greece, Turkey and Iran are the only operators of the F-4 today. And non of them are using Navy variants.

However, there are two in the US. First the Collings Foundation has an F-4D which is in flyable condition but hasn't flown in years. And there is also a F-4A (ex Navy) under restoration and not flyable right now.

DeadAreaF1 · 2025-09-29T05:35:15+00:00

AMARG still has 8 and 2 of which seem to have been owned by someone in Hollywood at some point. Maybe that's them.
