1st Flight in a Navy F-4J | 8mm Cockpit view RAG Training Miramar 1971
EP-3 “RAG – 1st Flight in a F-4J Phantom” – This is the 3rd 8mm reel and contains footage from about Aug 1970-Dec 1971 during his time in VF-121 “Pacemakers” as judged from the logbooks. This documents Replacement Air Group (RAG) training and unfortunately there is no voice to go with it. A large part of it was shot from the back seat during his first hop in an F-4J on Dec 15, 1970 according to the logbooks,. We also learn the origins of the “Mad Duck” call sign from a very special guest.
After a chance encounter & brief discussion at Oshkosh 2023, Cdr. Bill ‘Willy’ Driscoll USN (Ret.) agreed to help me with this one since he went through the RAG with my dad. Bill sat down for a conversation and explains the purpose and tactics of the RAG and the Instructors. We discuss the various types of training you get, the intense competition between the students, and he shares some great stories about team work, resilience, & some special insights about my dad. I was so fortunate to be able to capture these moments between us separated by ~52 yrs. Thank you Bill.
