Lockheed F‑4 Lightning

Affectionately called "Photo Joes" these F‑4 pilots flew into enemy territory armed with only a camera.

Tasked with taking recon photos for the fighter squadrons, the combat pilots could not have done their jobs without the help of these brave P‑38 pilots.

Mount the clear nose to build a P‑38J Droopsnoot.
