Fantastic photo of an F-4 Phantom barrel rolling over a Soviet Bear Bomber, on a routine intercept circa 73-74

Its also incredible to see the side by side difference in the Phantom, and the fighter it replaced, the F-102... we had clearly made a dramatic leap in capability
Dramatic departure in terms of aerodynamic form, and hawkish profile... my Korean War pilot Uncle 'Bad' Bob Campbell used to fly the 102
He once 'stole' one of them from the Montana ANG to go visit a relative in Wyoming
