If that's true, then the USAF had better renumber the F/FB-111. That plane first flew on 21 Dec. 1964, 19 months after the F-4C joined operational squadrons. It makes no difference if a number is out of sequence or not. How many of you know what the F-110 was? What ever happened to the F-2, F-6, F-13? MIDN 3/C Allan Bourdius CMUNROTCU
