I`d like to see this land on the present day USS Monterey...  ;D

Come to think of it, I`d like to see this land on the USS Monterey of World War 2....  ;)

It really takes a pilot (and RIO) with nerves of steel to do that ;)

Thank you for your participation

The Horizontal stabilizer is the wrong shape...it looks like it's carrying Lima sidewinders about 15 years too early...I may be wrong but the front seat looks more like an ESCAPAC than a MB...back seat doesn't look right either, but cant tell what it looks like. 

This is fun!!

Yes, it is a real-world aam...
Maybe you need to look outside the USA  ;)

You are right; the horizontal stabilizer is taken from the F-4 (HL) version (not build) intended for the Royal Navy

Yes it does; a case of very advanced weaponry ;)

You are right: the ejection seats are not what they were supposed to be; but they are not ESCAPAC; neither of them are from the USA or from the UK...

This is fun!!

My feelings exactly; please keep discovering new errors :)

OK...next batch...


The rear AAM being discussed looks like maybe a Meteor?  Either way it appears to be mounted on the fuselage instead of the semi-recessed belly station. 

The US Navy never use "U.S. NAVY" on markings, just "NAVY".

There appears to be some sort of APU exhaust or some other vent that doesn't belong just above the engine exhaust. 


Can I get a closeup of the canopy and forward fuselage area?

 :D

It is not an Meteor; the fact it appears mounted and not recessed is more of an non-intentional mistake by me (sorry). As for that AAM you might not be too far off (geographically speaking ;) )

I will provide a close-up on the entire aircraft, but not for now (sorry). There are some more errors i would like to see identify before I provide those close-ups (that will for sure make evident some other errors).
Please be a little patient and I will provide soon those close ups.
Many thanks for your participation :)

There are still more than 15 errors to be found...
Some of them perhaps will only be discovered when the close-ups are provided, but other are still visible int he original image.

OK, my last three, then someone else needs to have a go...

First...DUH!!  The missile in question is a Red Top!  I just noticed the forward fin visible. 

Also, just above the missile is a UK serial, looks like XR770..Lightning number to go with the Lightning missile?

Finally, the NACA duct ahead of "U.S. NAVY" doesnt belong.

Right again. The Ligthning number goes well with the AAM, but that is not the only reason... there something else British in there... ;)

The double "Ejection Seat" warning under the front cockpit belongs to a... Lightning maybe ?

And the radome doesn't look right to me

Right on. This is a signal used on the Lightnings.

Yes, this radome is not of the tipical -B version either in shape nor in the reinforcing strips it has.

OK, so I did some pretty cursory research and only found 4 kills total by F-4Bs in '65....does that make the 4 kill markings on a single plane in 65 an error?

Yes, the kill markings are another error; either related to the year in question and also to the squadrons refered (the Grim Reapers and the Diamondbacks).
Very good.
Thansk for participating.
Almost there... just another 10 plus to go ;)

The yellow "RESCUE" arrow pointing at the external canopy jettison is missing from the area near the slime light, and there should be a white "DANGER" stencil inside the red warning chevron in front of the intake.

You are right, but The Big Gimper had allready discovered that one (reply # 22).
 But you have a lot of others to find... ;)

Is that a cannon trough in front of the slime light? 

A camera port?

GIB seems to be wearing a US-type helmet or something

Wing Commander isnt a USN rank, though that could be an exchange pilot so not necessarily an error...

French-style canopy warning under the back seater.
