The F-4 was designed in 1958 as a company venture by McDonnell Douglas to meet future needs and it turned into the greatest post World War II fighter ever built. Considered by some the fastest, most versatile and effective aircraft ever built. The F-4 was initially designed as an attack bomber without internal weapons. The Phantom carried a greater bomb load than a B-29, yet was an effective fighter shooting down 106 out of 137 Migs destroyed in the Vietnam War. Israel has used F-4's in all of its major confrontations, at one time shooting down over 70 Syrian aircraft without a Phantom lost. The F-4E was flown by the US Air Force Demonstration team The Thunderbirds from 1969 through the mid 1970's. F-4E's were also flown as aircraft known as Wild Weasels and were active in the Persian Gulf War.
RF-4 recon aircraft have a longer nose order to carry optical, infrared and forward looking radar. Over twenty foreign countries have flown the F-4 as standard front line combat aircraft and the Phantom can match the latest designed fighters in almost every performance category.
More than 1,200 F-4's have been stored at the Aerospace Maintenance and Regeneration Center (AMARC) at Davis-Monthan AFB near Tucson, Arizona. Most of these stored aircraft will eventually be expended as target drones like the F-86's, F-100's, and F-102's before them.
This RF-4C is the unarmed photo reconnaissance version of the Phantom. RF's were used extensively in the Vietnam War and many were lost to "triple A " (anti-aircraft artillery) and "SAM's" (surface to air missiles).
Prior to its arrival at the museum, this RF-4C was used as a Bomb Damage Repair (BDR) aircraft while assigned to the 163rd TFG, California Air National Guard, here at March AFB. It is substantially intact, including optics, avionics, ejection seats and engines. The aircraft was retired in August 1996 and placed on exhibit at the museum. This aircraft is on loan from the USAF.
