Beautiful Japanese Phantoms!

Beautiful video indeed ! Thanks for the link.
A few weeks ago, I saw another one, probably taken in the same place, with impressive views as well:
 
I am convinced that the F-4 Phantom with a Vulcan cannon up front is one of the most beautiful aircraft ever built.

Awesome video! I remember the first time I ever went to the Avalon Airshow, back in 1995, the first jets we saw while walking from the car park to the entrance was a pair of USAF RF-4C Phantoms ( I didn't know which Phantoms they were, so I just looked it up). We saw them silently fly past and then a second or two later the roar followed. I have always loved the lines of the Phantom. I remember doing sketches of aircraft when I was younger and I just loved the way the fuselage angled up at the rear of the Phantom.
 
And that's the reason I own both the SWS and MV Phantoms in P3D! Since childhood the F-4 has always been up high on my "cool" fighter list.
 
F-4EJkai 47-8333 was retired on April 11, 2018

Looks like last of Japans F4's retired in this video. This one had served for approx 44 years of service.
