The F-4 Phantom II flew every traditional military mission: air superiority, close air support, interception, air defense suppression, long-range strike, fleet defense, attack and reconnaissance. The F-4 Phantom II starred in both the Vietnam War and Operation Desert Storm with a record of 280 air-to-air victories and the destruction of more than 200 anti-aircraft sites. From 1958 to 1979, when the production line stopped, a total of 5,195 F-4 Phantom II aircraft were built.
