This would have been one of the last shows the team flew in the F-4E's, since the fuel crisis forced the team to transition to the T-38's the following year. Be sure to check out the Rollback to Arrowhead at 0:09 in the second video.

Love the Rollback to Arrowhead... one of my all time favs! AND... love the black tail on #4! Nothing like being behind the Boss burning JP4 and getting that tail "sooty" black!!!

Thanks for posting LD!

That Rollback to Arrowhead looks so cool. We'll have to perfect that if we ever fly a Talon show!
