The F-4 Phantom II aircraft, which still flies in defense of 8 nations, was retired in 1996 from U.S. military forces, ending a record-studded 38-year career. The Phantom was first used by the U.S. Navy as an interceptor but also was capable of flying as a ground-support bomber for the U.S. Marine Corps. The aircraft flew every traditional military mission: air superiority, close air support, interception, air defense suppression, long-range strike, fleet defense, attack and reconnaissance. It 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. The Phantom was the first multiservice aircraft, flying concurrently with the U.S. Navy, Air Force and Marine Corps. It is the first and only aircraft ever to be flown concurrently by both the Blue Angels and the Thunderbirds.BI215040 (c12-4265-11)Maximum size:3000px × 2400px (~20 MB)10.0in × 8.0in (300dpi)License type:Rights ManagedKeywords:1950s-air to air-airplanes-camouflage-clouds-day-exteriors-F-4 Phantom II-fighters-flying-full body views-green-historic production status-jets-left side views-military-military livery-monoplanes-photos-sunshine-whiteRelated Photo/Videos:View AllRelated Virtual folders:F-4 Phantom II
