The McDonnell Douglas F-4 was the main multipurpose aircraft for the US Military for 20 years.
The F-4E variant was an improved version of the C/D with an elongated nose and compact radar.
These two things made it possible to install a 20mm M61A1 6 barrel 640 round Vulcan gun pod in
the nose. The F-4E was the most produced variant with 1387 aircraft being made over its 12 year
production period. The “E” also equipped more air forces than any other variant of the Phantom II.
McDonnell Douglas F-4E Phantom II 71-1392 c/n 4270 made its first flight on November 9 1972.
In January 1973, equipped with cameras, the aircraft arrived at Udorn, Thailand assigned to the
432nd TRW and in November 1974 the aircraft traded the cameras for weapons. In December
1975 71-1392 became the property of the 3rd TFW in the Philippines until January 1991 when
the aircraft was removed from inventory and shipped to Andersen Air Force Base, Guam where it
was put on display in November 1991.
