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 āEā also equipped more air forces than any other variant of the
Phantom II.
69-7561 was manufactured as an F-4E and was converted to an F-4G at Ogden ALC on July 18,
1980. It served with the 561st FS of the 35th FW and when Desert Storm came about in 1991 the
only Wild Weasels available were the F-4Gs. The 35th FW was called upon to provide their F-
4Gs. The F-4G was the last version of Phantom to see service before being sent to the ANG in
Idaho and Kentucky. 69-7561 was sent to AMARC September 12, 1995 and destroyed on June
6, 2001.
