I I had the money to spare to buy a fully functional F4 Phantom, do you honestly think I’d have the slightest care about its fuel efficiency?
I’ve been looking at that one for a few years (not to buy,) often wonder why it doesn’t sell, or fly, it’s incredibly expensive to operate but I like to reminisce

Won't there be a lot of heat from the engine on that tail section?
I was thinking the same. I get that's why the need for the split tail but they must have simulated it enough to compensate for the exhaust.

F-4s used to make a lot of smoke, if I recall correctly.
You say that like it's a bad thing

Lots of smoke = easily spotted.

Wonder what parts plus experienced labor costs are on an F4.
I can fix an F4 pretty easy, on the powerplant side. I'd cut 'em a brake on hourly rate.

had a chance to buy a cherried out T-33 for $150k a couple of years ago, I looked at how much it cost to operate it and had to pass
The money fans would save over a turbojet would pay for a much more modern aircraft real quick.

Only because you don't realize the amount of money you're talking about.

It will get you to the crash scene.

Very fuel inefficient and finding parts would be a bitch.
You had best have an endless supply of hydraulic fluid if you want to own a Phantom

T-33 was the first plane I ever worked on. Not sure I'd be too quick to fly a bird that basically breaks in half to work on the engine! ;)

They are an ok personal jet but their performance is t great even compared to a Pilatus PC12NGX which has a shite ton more room.
