Phil's Planes - Seymour Johnson Airshow

May 17th 2015 - Seymour Johnson Airshow - North Carolina

I had attended Warbirds Over the Beach in Virginia Beach on Saturday and this was not terribly out of way home so I decided to give it a shot. One on the main reason I went was they had advertised a F-4 flyby, but it did not happen.

Seymour Johnson is home to the 4th Fighter Wing of F-15E Strike Eagle (or Mud Hen). This one has just been loaded with weapons, This was particurlarly interesting to me because for six years I load weapons on F-4Ds and F-16As
