In August of 1978, a USAF F-4E 66-0304 of the 57th FIS out of Keflavik, Iceland had just departed ,when unfortunately for the crew, the freshly repainted Phantom also had wing lock pins had been wrongly painted in gray, and not re-painted high visibility red. Most predictably, and unfortunately, the crew failed to notice the wing lock pins on walk-around, and seconds after taking off, the Phantoms wings folded in mid flight.
