McDonnell F-4C Phantom parked for display. The F-4 achieved legendary status as a warplane in combat. This one holds many honors and was retired in 1987. I do not know why some airplanes have green camo paint. (5 years and 2384 days ago)
Coolness. A collectors item V signed by Dave Mustaine, Dave Ellefson, Nick Menza, and Marty Friedman from 1997. Megadeth's best lineup in my opinion. Nice shot.
This is a treasure... tks for comment
Because, when it's landed on the ground and you watch it from the sky (in another plane), it looks like the grass, the forest, the ground.
Thank you for the comment. It sounds right but at the same time to me it still seems more people on the ground shoot at planes than observers looking down on it. But I do not know about these war things.
Artifakts is right, but it also applies if the plane is in flight. If you're in a fighter and want the advantage attacking another plane, you often try to start from a higher altitude so you can dive down on them. If the plane is flying over greenish terrain, it would be harder to spot.
Howdie stranger!
