On Aug. 28, 1961, F4H-1F 145307 barreled down a 3 km low-altitude course in the White Sands Missile Range, reaching an average speed of Mach 1.25 while staying below 125 ft.
The F-4A is now in storage at the Paul Garber Restoration Facility just down the road from Andrews, but thirty years ago, in July '91, she was sitting on the VMFA-321 ramp at NAF Washington.
