McDonnell Douglas RF-4C Phantom II--26th TRW

Dad photographed this aircraft at Ramstein in 1978.  As the ZR tailcode indicates, this is a 26th TRW RF-4C.  By this time, the USAF was beginning to adopt subdued tailcodes, though they retained full-color insignia and light gray undersides with the standard Southeast Asia-style camouflage.  This one also carries a "towel-rack" LORAN navigation antenna atop the fuselage.

68-0595 later was transferred to the 190th TRS of the Idaho ANG and was retired in 1988.  it was probably scrapped in 2009.
