Originally used as supplemental gas tanks on World War II fighter planes, these Aircraft belly tanks, also known as drop tanks, have been repurposed by creative individuals into miniature speed demons called lakesters. With frames, axles, seats, steering gear, and engines added, these modified tanks now race across dry lake beds, showcasing their durability and versatility. They have even been used to create even mini submarines.
The McDonnell Douglas F-4 Phantom II, developed by McDonnell Aircraft for the United States Navy, is a versatile tandem two-seat, twin-engine, all-weather, long-range supersonic aircraft. It was adopted by the Navy in 1961 and later by the United States Marine Corps and Air Force, becoming a crucial component of their air forces during the Cold War. With a production spanning from 1958 to 1981, the Phantom holds the title of the most produced American supersonic military aircraft with 5,195 units built.
