McDonnell Douglas F-4 Phantom II
The F-4 Phantom II is an American tandem-seat, twin-engined, all-weather, long-range, carrier-capable supersonic interceptor fighter-bomber and, later, reconnaissance and Wild Weasel (Suppression of Enemy Air Defenses) aircraft.
The maiden flight occurred on May 27, 1958, and entered service on December 30, 1960. Designed initially for the USN, it also served with the USAF, USMC, and other countries. The US military began to replace the F-4 during the 1980s and reconnaissance and Wild Weasel variants in 1996. Production ended in 1981, with over 5,000 airframes built.
The F-4 used two General Electric J79s after burning turbojet engines. The Phantom did not carry guns until the F-4C was introduced with an external gun pod. The E was the first to have an internally mounted cannon. Nine external hardpoints could carry up to 7,250 kg (16,000 lb) of payload.
