John:
yeah, I had heard that old expression about the Phantom. Got another tidbit
for you:
Did you know that the original Honda 6-cyl bike (like Tom Neimeyer races at
Bonne) originally had the mufflers tuned to specifically imitate the
"takeoff" sound of the F4C? Too bad that version didn't make it to
production!!!

p.s.-- the W. Weasel "handle"-- cute.

There was another project, but I can't find the data on it yet.
But as for the Phantom, got a .SIG that I saved from years ago..
from the days when our local Air Guard flew the RF-4C
