Nice shot, King! More info from Joe Baugher's website:

McDonnell Douglas F-4E-67-MC Phantom, 78-0735, (MSN 5059) for RoKAF as 80-735. Still serving with ROKAF as 80-735 in February 2023 with 153rd Fighter Squadron/10th Fighter Wing
It is a mystery (to many of us) as to why FA does some of the things it does. How it displays the tail/registration number is a great example. In my experience, it seems that any entry there of five or fewer characters automatically gets an "N" placed at the beginning regardless of whether it should be there or not. It assumes it is a U.S. civilian registration. If you enter six (or more) digits it will normally assume it is military and put a "-" after the first two digits with no "N". In the case of this photo, if King were to enter the full SN of 780735 it should show up without the "N" as 78-0735. But since the RoKAF SN is only five digits you can try to 'fool' the system by entering a "0" at the beginning of the SN to give it six digits. Then it should appear as 08-0735, without an "N". Sometimes if you enter a "-" at the beginning of the number (such as: -80735), or in the middle of the number (such as 80-735), that might work, as well. In any case, you might have to play around with the SN when you enter it into FA to get it to display correctly, or at least as close to correct as you can get.
As for Phantom II versus Phantom 2, it shows up both ways depending on where you look. I think officially you're correct, Alan. But, for example, if you look at the ICAO site for Aircraft Type Designators it shows them all as Phantom 2. So, six of one, a half dozen of the other. But that brings up another problem with FA. Even when you enter the correct ICAO aircraft type designator FA will display whatever name it wants to for that aircraft type regardless of whether it is the most common name or whether it accurately depicts the photo, or not. So, all you can do is get the correct ICAO code, enter it, and hope for the best.
Thanks again for the pic, King!
BCVS had 3 Harvards for Maintenance training back in the day. Seems like only 50 years ago, now.

FAA says Cessna 140 built in 1947.

Dog is, apparently, sitting PIC. The folks at the FAA may have something to say about that.
Written on 04/29/2024 by Paul Wisgerhof
Why does this site insist on prefixing any serial number of numeric digits with an 'N'. Is it just out of ignorance or a procedural necessity.
Written on 04/29/2024 by Alan Macdonald
BTW it's an F-4E Phantom II no such being as a Phantom 2
I can't look at the FalconEye without seeing a giant USB port. :D

I believe whenever VC-25 takes Prez anywhere an. E-4 is prepositioned to the nearest AFB. The flag is transfered to the E-4 in the event of hostilities due to the E-4's increased electronic capability so Prez can make real-time decisions.

RATO takeoff. Look it up

I could not locate the Cessna, but since the collision occurred over 3 months ago it is possible the Cessna is being, or already has been, repaired.

Looked up the registration. The Pilot & his pet dog survived and swam to shore. This was a loss of power & ditching incident.

It's because TUIs owners are british registered companies after TUI had been bought out due to the pandemic a few years ago.

come on guys, get your act together and correct the type designations of many of your pics.

Whoever this photo was taken by did not get complete light poles so a two vote on number 82,907 post. FYI: There is no reward, patch, trophy, or bouquet from any LA Flower shop for 100,000 photos from the site. I checked on that last year.
