Kittinger F-4 Park at Orlando Executive Airport 

Picture
The Board Members of the Kittinger F-4 Park initiative have been working to get an F-4 Phantom installed as a monument at the Kittinger Park at the Orlando Executive Airport. The purpose of this monument is to honor and recognize the Central Florida Veterans that served our country and participated in the Vietnam War from 1961-1973. Over 2.7 million service men and women served in Vietnam with over 37,000 killed in the conflict. 333 servicemen and women from Central Florida lost their lives in the Vietnam War. 
 
The F-4 Phantom was the most significant aircraft that flew in the Vietnam War. The aircraft  provided close air support for the Army and Marines that fought the ground war. The aircraft was used to interdict strategic and tactical targets as directed by higher headquarters. The F-4 aircraft shot down the most enemy aircraft. The two fighter aces in the war, USAF and US Navy, flew F-4's. I shot down a Mig 21 with an F-4. There is not a better monument to recognize the War in Vietnam than an F-4 Phantom. This monument is a way for our community to recognize and say thanks to the servicemen and women from the Central Florida area that served in the Vietnam War and the 333 that made the supreme sacrifice for our country.

We owe it to our country to honor those that fell in protecting our country and Freedom. God Bless America.
