Jim Resigns as President
It is with deep sadness and regret that I accept Jim Thompson’s resignation as the F-4 Phantom II Society President, effective immediately. Jim has been dealing with several health issues lately and he believes it’s time to move on.
Jim has done a truly exceptional job as President for the past six months. Just a few significant events his leadership directly impacted were the change to a virtual Smoke Trails, movement of all merchandise to another state, and securing PhanCon 12 at Holloman. Please join me in thanking Jim for his many years of selfless service to the F-4 Phantom II Society in general and his service as President specifically. We all hope he gets better VERY quickly
In the interim, I’m moving back in as President until a replacement can be found. You can reach me at the “President” e-mail in the Contacts section.
Thank you for your understanding and continued support of this great organization.

Smoke Trails Issues now available in PDF format
If you have not visited the F-4 Store here in a while you may have missed the addition of recent volumes of Smoke Trails in PDF format for download. Cost is about half of what the paper copy is going for. A lot of hard work by Jack Callaway and Fred Sheffler has resulted in some very nice electronic versions which not only look great on your computer but also on iPads too.
Volumes 17 and 18 were built from the original files used for the print version. One can zoom in on the pages to quite a depth without things getting fuzzy.. great for us older heads.
Jack and Fred are now working on scans of older out of print issues. Initial scans are being done at 300 dpi and the results so far look great. The process takes a while so expect to see only one or two a month being added.
THANKS GUYS!

Our store has a few new features
We have spent the last month remodeling our storefront and doing a few upgrades.
You will now find a new entry way into the store, and if you order
something you will find a new shipping calculator awaits you. The calculator will offer you shipping options tailored to your Postal address and the actual total weight of the shipment.
Something new is a display below the Check My Cart button of just how many items are in the cart and a subtotal of the price.
In Smoke Trails you will now find PDF versions for download. Where possible these hi-res PDFs are based on the originals used for each issue, minus some advertising. Take a look at the 18-4 PDF sample to see the high quality. We plan to provide out of print versions as well. A hearty thanks to Fred Sheffler and Jack Callaway for creating them and making them available. (3/2/2012)
