At first the F-4 was ordered as a flat air defense fighter for the US Navy. Its job was to kill beyond visual range. But, its versatility was such that it became a workhorse for the USAF and other forces. The F-4 is fast at mach 2.2 and could carry large loads of weapons. This 2 man fighter was more powerful than MiG 17s, 19s and 21s and gave great service with the Israeli AF against Egypt and Syria. Designed as a fleet defense fighter for the US Navy, the F-4 Phantom was first flown on May 27, 1958. This twin-engine, long-range all-weather fighter/bomber proved highly adaptable and served in the Marine Corps and the US Air Force as well as in the Navy. During the Vietnam War, it was the principal air superiority fighter for the Navy and the Air Force and was also used for reconnaissance and ground attack. The Phantom continued to serve well into the 1970s and 1980s and even flew missions during the first Gulf War. Finally phased out by the F-14, F-16 and F/A-18, the Phantom was retired in 1996. © Copyright 2003-2024 The Flying Mule, Inc.
