Another end of an era in a way. The last QF-4 target drone was destroyed over the Gulf of Mexico apparently in the last flight of its kind…
Hard to believe that F-16s will be used next…(I think they already are being used)…

Finally! Now we can use the F-16 for its true purpose. Target practice for F-15s…
… the heck you say! 
Not the last QF-4. Simply the last from Tyndall, where the QF-16 is now the primary FSAT. QF-4 operations continue at Holloman AFB, NM for another year or slightly longer.

Darn semantics! I would have titled the article “Last Tyndall QF-4…” Instead, I read it as the last one evahhhhh!!!
LOL…thanks for the correction…!
A very good video of some F-15’s engaging the QF-4’s
