Just north of Detroit on the shore of Lake St Clair, Selfridge Air Nation Guard Base was the home for the 171 Fighter Interceptor Squadron’s F-4’s. The Michigan Six Pack provided Air Defense Alert from Selfridge and while deployed both to other CONUS locations as well as overseas locations for twenty years.
Prior to being assigned to the 171st, F-4C-19-MC 63-589 flew with the 8 TFW Wolf Pack and was one of the jets that flew in OPERATION BOLO in which she was credited with MiG 21 victory. She is depicted “cocked” and ready to be scrambled… all normal preflight checks have already been pulled and all non-weapon related safety pins have been removed. The pilot’s helmets are already in the cockpit while the rest nearby already wearing their flight gear.
She is configured with her typical alert load out of 4 x AIM-9E and 4 x AIM-7E missiles and a pair of 370 gallon wing tanks.
