Was reported recently by a local on an F-4 group that there are still a handful of RF-4's flying in Iran (although their recce gear may no longer be operational?).

It seems that this year, the show will be very poor. Usually we have 3 pages of aircraft of all type (fighter, bomber, cargo, VIP...) and this year nothing. No russian, no American... I cancelled my trip there for that. Oh dear! You should know that the official website is usually very slow to upda...

Great list Hans, ==censored==! Can any post any shots of the EP-3?
Good to meet, Proost, Kevin

Further to the above, which may be of interest to those making plans... From the 49Wg PA "Our open house this year has been cancelled and pushed to next year". This means that PhanCon 2016 will indeed be the final public "Salute to the Mighty Rhino" in US service. Registration should be open within ...

Do you have more information (date?) about an Airshow at Holloman 2016 in October ? Not yet, but to quote 49Wg PA... "We are planning to hold the Air Show in early October - that's probably why you haven't seen many details about it yet. We'll do our best to keep the Facebook page updated with info...
