Description
F-4C Phantom II at William Tell
By Antonis Karidis
In 1982, the 171st Fighter Interceptor Squadron, 191st Fighter Interceptor Group, Michigan Air National Guard participated in the annual ‘William Tell Air-to-Air Weapons meet, held at Tyndall Air Force Bae, Panama City, Florida. It was at this competition that the 171st unveiled its distinctive black and yellow checkered board pattern, along with distinctive nose art that created quite the ‘buzz’ at the event.
Depicted here are two of the 171st Phantoms flying over Tampa, FL, on their way back to Tyndall.
Proceeds from the sale of prints help us in our restoration efforts.
The Selfridge Military Air Museum is working on a major fund-raising campaign for some long-needed infrastructure improvements, the most important a ‘new home’ for the FG-1D Corsair that is currently undergoing extensive restoration and our beloved T-6 ‘Texan’, which we’d like to get out of our Michigan weather.
The Corsair is currently being restored by our restoration team. Please help, if you can!
