Dan Patterson, a retired Air Force master sergeant and current F-16 aircraft sheet metal mechanic with the Ogden Air Logistics Complex, reminisces about the days he worked on F-4 Phantom II aircraft beginning at 19 years of age. Patterson viewed two QF-4s at Hill Force Base, Oct. 25, during an event celebrating the final days of operational F-4s in the Air Force. The event -- touted as the ‘Phinal Phantom Phlight’ – featured flybys, a luncheon, and static display.
