We were invited by Stefan Ritter, test-pilot at WTD61, to participate in the phinal ceremony to celebrate the Phly-out of the two remaining F-4F Phantom II's (within the German Air Force) at Manching. LtCol Ritter and LtCol Hierl, together with their WSO's Mr. Killian and LtCol Geisse, performed a breathtaking phlying demo. Special thanks to Stefan Ritter for this phabulous day!!!

    WTD61's F-4F Phantom II (38+13, cn4644) is looking very wet, on return to the apron, after having received a water-salute by the Manching Fire Brigade.
    Tail close-up of F-4F Phantom II (37+15, cn4385) from WTD61 at Manching. She had just performed her "official" last phlight that day (July 24th, 2013), but on Monday (July 29th, 2013), she was planned to be phlown to Jever to be dismantled and scrapped... What a sad ending of a beautiful test-career ;-(((
