    Ashford noted that i:e srritch f om the F-102 to the F-4 is more han aswitch from an old aircraft to a newer one.The F-4 is a multi-rnission-capable aircraft. In other vords, it is cap-able of air defen e, air superiority , and air-ground work. T

    he F-102was designed primarily for air defense."Of course, our primary role wil be in air def nse, but the added cap-ability, especially in air superiority, would come prominently into playshould the 154th be called into active duty overseas,

    " said Ashford.The F-4C will be the fourth type of mission jet aircraft flown by theHawaii Air National Guard since he organization was converted to jetsin 1953. The others were F-86E Sabres, F-86L Sabres and the currentF- 102' s. _ >, - :. :; : - . ,:._; w.,:
