March 1969:  Marine F-4 Phantoms from VMFA-232 “Red Devils” being refueled by KC-130s over the Johnson Islands while on transpacific flight to Vietnam. The aircraft at front of picture – 155811- was the only Marine jet shot down by MiGs during the Vietnam war.   “Lt Sam Cordova , 28, (pic 2) was the pilot of an F4J fighter jet shot down over Laos on August 26, 1972. His plane was downed on the border of Laos and Vietnam in Houa Phan Province near the city of Sop Hoa. His F-4J was BuNo 155811, and he was shot down by a MiG-21, the only Marine jet ever to be lost to enemy aircraft during the Vietnam War. Cordova was part of a two-plane flight.  The NVAF pilot who shot him down was Nguyen Duc Soat (26), of the 3rd Company, and it was his fifth of six aerial kills. Lt. Cordova spoke to U.S. aircraft in the area over his survival radio while safely parachuting from his aircraft. He later radioed that he had fallen into a ravine and heard his pursuers approaching. According to a member of Cordova's squadron, Sam Cordova's last transmission stated that he was going to be captured if he wasn't picked up immediately.   Cordova's back-seater – Lt Darrell Borders - was rescued, but rescue attempts for Cordova were hampered because of heavy ground fire. Sam's emergency radio beeper was traced to Ban Na Ca Tay, a Viet Cong village. Attempts to contact him through the device failed.  This seemed clear indication that Cordova was  captured, but he was classified Missing in Action.” Src POW Network.   On December 15th 1988, the remains of Maj. Sam Cordova were returned home to be buried in American soil. 📷Feel free to repost but please remember to tag us 👍😊 #aircraft #airforce #airshow #avgeek #aviation #aviationdaily #aviationgeek #aviationhistory #aviationlovers #aviationphotos #avnerd #instaaviation #militaryaviation #militaryaviationphotography #oldairplanes #navalaviator #navalaviation #fighterpilot #warbird #warbirds #f4phantom #kc130 #c130 https://www.instagram.com/p/CSRjLUbBFC8/?utm_medium=tumblr

Every time I look at this it just blows my mind that this was where we were with aircraft design over 55 years ago using slide rules and pencils. Imagine being there when it was first rolled out of the hangar - the sheer size and it’s futuristic look would have been Iike something from a comic book. Visiting the surviving example is high up on the bucket list 👍 Has anyone been ? 🌎www.iloveahangar.com Feel free to repost but please remember to tag us 👍😊 #aircraft #airforce #airshow #avgeek #aviation #aviationdaily #aviationgeek #aviationhistory #aviationlovers #aviationphotos #avnerd #instaaviation #militaryaviation #militaryaviationphotography #oldairplanes #navalaviator #planepics #fighterpilot #warbird #warbirds #usaf #testpilot https://www.instagram.com/p/CVVJAF_BQiS/?utm_medium=tumblr
