- HISTORY ASPECTS:
- The McDonnell Douglas F-4 Phantom II is regarded as one of the most successful fighter designs of all time. It is a two-seat twinjet long-range supersonic jet interceptor and fighter-bomber originally developed for the United States Navy. With top speeds more than twice the speed of sound, the F-4 established 16 speed, altitude, and time-to-climb records. An all-around performer, the F-4 Phantom was the first aircraft to be simultaneously used by the USAF, USN and USMC, while also serving in approximately 11 other countries.
- Deployed for combat operations in Southeast Asia in 1965 the 363d Tactical Reconnaissance Wing flew photographic and electronic intelligence missions to support both air and ground operations. USAF Tactical Air Command relied on F-4 Phantom’s in Southeast Asia during the Vietnam War.
