Introduced in late 1960 with the U.S. Navy, the F-4 Phantom II has been an incredibly versatile and effective aircraft for numerous national militaries around the world. Amazingly still in operational service after more than a half century, the F-4 — while retired in the United States — continues to perform countless roles including interceptor, reconnaissance, fighter-bomber, and "Wild Weasel" radar destroyer. The aircraft saw extensive use with U.S. forces in Vietnam, serving as the principal air superiority fighter, holding the distinction of being the last 20th century warbird to achieve "ace" status. More than 5,000 units have been manufactured, seeing action in more than ten countries.
