> **[McDonnell Douglas F-4 Phantom II](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/McDonnell_Douglas_F-4_Phantom_II)** > > The McDonnell Douglas F-4 Phantom II\[N 1\] is an American tandem two-seat, twin-engine, all-weather, long-range supersonic jet interceptor and fighter-bomber originally developed by McDonnell Aircraft for the United States Navy. Proving highly adaptable, it entered service with the Navy in 1961 before it was adopted by the United States Marine Corps and the United States Air Force, and by the mid-1960s it had become a major part of their air arms. Phantom production ran from 1958 to 1981 The ... Have to have a Phantom thread! To start off, a shot from the 2004 edition of Phantom at Holloman AFB. Amazing to see these beast on the ramp back then. And wonderful there were so many QF-4G’s, former Wild Weasels, my favorite variant… ![IMG_6015](https://forum.fencecheck.online/uploads/default/original/1X/818c0d56f67c3aea8c1b785e05f01f2b78f936b3.jpeg) ---
