| F-4 Phantom II Thunderbird Simulator wants to hear from you! |
|
The F-4D A/F 37U-T3 Weapons System Training Set PN F-587000 S/N AF-12 formerly used by the U.S. Air Force and Air National Guard will be making appearances at a few air shows this summer.
The simulator began its service to our country in 1967 at Hill AFB in Utah , training crews for duty in Vietnam . Then, from 1979-91, the simulator served the 184th Kansas Air National at McConnell AFB in Wichita , Kansas . In 2000 Cannaby purchased the stripped-out simulator carcass from the Kansas Aviation Museum as a rescue project. It took Cannaby and his company, Nu-Tek Aircraft Instruments, Inc., three years to replace the simulator's missing equipment - from light lenses, control panels, and stick grips to ejections seats.

Goals
The ultimate goal is to make the F-4D Phantom Simulator a fully interactive aviation simulator. The F-4D Phantom Simulator is in a continual refinement process. After each event, in which it has made an appearance, upgrades are made to further it's restoration. All of the proceeds go directly to the restoration of the simulator
