F4D-1 Skyray, U.S. Marine Corps (139177), California, Marine Corps Air Station Miramar, Flying Leatherneck Aviation Museum
Douglas Aircraft manufactured the F4D-1 Skyray from 1950 to 1958. The carrier capable Skyray was designed for the high-altitude interception. With no other mission capabilities, the F4D was not suited for the multi-mission capabilities that faced the military starting in the 1950s. As a result, the F4D-1 had a relatively short service career. The last F-4D-1 squadron went away in 1964. The F4D-1 was the last fighter aircraft manufactured by Douglas Aircraft before the merger with MCDonnell Aircraft.
