Nellis Aviation Nation 12/13 November 2016. I'm making plans to go and see one of the last USAF Phantom displays before their retirement.

I take it the F-4 is part of the "Nellis Heritage Parade?"
Any idea what else that might include?
Looks like a pretty fantastic show they have lined up there, can't wait to see some pictures.

Probably a B-17 and a string of post WWII fighters.
I just want to see the Phantom fly one last time. I was at the inactivation ceremony for the 20th FS at Holloman AFB back in 2004. It's sad to see them go... I miss seeing the smoke trails cutting through the sky.

Know the feeling; in 1994-ish I watched the decommision of RAF 56 and 74 Sqds, at Wattisham, with the subsequent dismantling of the Phantom FGRs (with an iron ball, at one stage). The whole process, under the grey English fall and winter skies, was like a long, slow death, day by day. Certainly the end of an era for the RAF.
Have fun, albeit probably a bit poignantly, but have fun just the same.
