F-4 Phantom High Speed Pass

YouTube / metrofilm9

The McDonnell Douglas F-4 Phantom II is arguably one of the best Cold War jet fighters, making it one of the most fearsome multi-role aircraft. It can fly at Mach 2.2, and deliver a whooping 18000lbs of ordnance on its enemies.

In this video, we get to see the F4 Phantom doing a high-speed pass at the Ft. Lauderdale Air Show. This was taken in 2001.

We canโ€™t help but admire the performance of the F4 given that theyโ€™re heavy birds, meaning it does carry a lot of energy during that ascent. We can only imagine feeling that rush! And the sound of the engines is simply incredible, thereโ€™s nothing quite like it.

Is the Phantom one of your favorite aircraft? Let us know in the comments!
