German F-4Fs flew 279,000 hours from entering service on 31 August 1973 until retirement. The existing fleet underwent a standardization program which among other changes included replacing the APQ-99 terrain-following radar by a Texas Instruments AN/APQ-172 radar, laser-ring gyro inertial navigation system and an Israeli Aircraft Industries in-flight refueling probe, while the original USAF-style refuelling receptacle was retained. This upgrade included installation of a wide-angle Kaiser HUD, a digital mission computer and some structural improvements. Iran, with few fiscal restraints, followed that up with an order for 177 F-4Es. Aeromaster 148-019: Luftwaffe F-4 Phantom Stencils [12], On 16 January 1971 the first RF-4E, dubbed the "Spirit of St. Louis", flew from the U.S. to Spain and finally onto Germany.

Some F-4s were upgraded with the AN/AVQ-26 Pave Tack laser targeting pod. While the KC-97s were fitted with a flying boom refuelling system, the Hercules that replaced them were fitted with the probe and drogue system and so could not refuel the F-4s. Article by Peter Schm. The fitting of RWRs and structural reinforcements were carried out to the aircraft in the 1970s. The first 26 aircraft were rebuilt in Israel, and the other 28 in Turkey. Under Operation Peace Pheasant these were delivered to the RoKaF 152 and 153 TFS (Tactical Fighter Squadron), 17th TFW at Chongju. [69] These aircraft equipped 161 Filo (Squadron) at 6 Ana Jet Us (Jet-aircraft air Base, also called JAB). Playing next. First units to disband were the RAF Wildenrath-based 19 and 92 Squadrons, which were the last air defence units to serve in RAF Germany, followed by 56 Squadron in May 1992. The original plan was to upgrade 75 F-4Fs, but the number was increased to 110 in the late 1980s. On 11 November 1969 an F-4E first shot down a MiG-21. The man saw a jet coming at him at high speed and low altitude and opened fire, Makdissi said. Through the Mutual Defense Aid Program (MDAP), Spain acquired 36 ex-USAF F-4Cs for the Ejército del Aire (Spanish Air Force). [5], In 1972 the United States offered to sell the leased aircraft to Australia. 74 Squadron RAF (Tiger Squadron), based at RAF Wattisham in the air-defence role. [56], The South Koreans also received RF-4Cs. However, due to the embargo imposed by France after the Israeli preemptive strike during the 1967 Six-Day War, the U.S. government reconsidered and decided to offer the Israelis the aircraft. CAM 48-050 - Phar East Phantoms Price Canadian Dollars: $29.95 . The "ICE" (Improved Combat Efficiency) program commenced in 1983 to upgrade the F-4F's air-to-air capabilities. [34] By 22 October, the new aircraft were in operation, attacking Egyptian targets. Seoul ordered 18 ex-USAF F-4Ds, which were quickly delivered under the Peace Spectator program. Fly Drawing Plane Drawing F4 Phantom Aircraft Photos Military Photos Aviation Art Luftwaffe World War I Military Aircraft. This was a unique situation, until the phasing out of the Fulcrums.[17]. [24], The 339th "Ajax" Squadron was employed in the air defense role with the older Phantoms, which had a Radar Warning Receiver mounted on the tail and air intakes, and the TISEO optical device.

The ICE F-4Fs were expected to remain in service until JG 71 transitioned to the Eurofighter Typhoon in 2013. The Greek Air Force (Polemiki Aeroporia, PA) was interested in buying 32 aircraft in 1992 but the differences were too great between the FGR.2 and the F-4Es they operated.[94]. This was equivalent to the Japanese F-4EJ KAI or German F-4 ICE, but the costs were too high for South Korea. They were able to do this in 1993 when the Luftwaffe phased out their RF-4Es, and 29 ex-Luftwaffe aircraft were added to the 348th Mira. The last batch delivered had AVQ-23A Pave Spike laser designation pod compatibility. Filo 111, 112, 113, all based on JAB 1, EskiÅehir, were the new Phantom units. The German Air Force (Luftwaffe) initially ordered the reconnaissance RF-4E in 1969, receiving a total of 88 aircraft from January 1971. Ordered in July 1964,[85] this was the first time the U.S. permitted export of the Phantom, with the first F-4K flying on 27 June 1966. By that time, new F-15 Eagles and F-16s were replacing the Phantom in front line service, so the F-4s scored only one aerial victory in that action. In 1972 another 18 were delivered from the USAF 3rd TFW (Tactical Fighter Wing), in exchange for which South Korea delivered 36 Northrop F-5As to South Vietnam. During their service, seven F-4C were lost to accidents before being replaced by EF-18s in April 1989. In 1975, Germany also received 10 F-4Es for training in the U.S. On Jan. 2, 1967, around 30 U.S. Air Force F-4 Phantom fighter jets flying from Ubon in Thailand shot down a full third of North Vietnamâs MiG-21sâfor a loss of just one of their own. [34], On the second day of the war, the IDF launched attacks with F-4s and A-4 Skyhawks but the enemy air defence and MiGs shot down six Phantoms and 30 A-4s. The F-4E was known as Kurnass (Heavy Hammer) in Israeli service while the RF-4E was called Orev (Raven). In 1976, these trainers were replaced with 10 F-4Es, which stayed in the U.S. One of the "F"s, serial number 72-118, remained at Eglin AFB as an experimental project aircraft. These aircraft were also used for ground attack, and during one such mission, rebels in Oman shot one down. The solution was to loan F-4Es to the RAAF, under the Peace Reef program. [85], To ease the impact on employment in the UK aircraft industry from the cancellation of home-grown programs, the aircraft had a high British content. U.S. President Richard Nixon authorized the delivery of 36 ex-USAF F-4s under Operation Nickel Grass, from the USAF 4th and 401st Tactical Fighter Wings. However, the 1966 Defence White Paper saw the cancellation of the CVA-01 project, with the Royal Navy's Phantom order cut to 48. The first six F-111Cs were delivered in June 1973, and the rest of the F-4Es were returned to the United States Air Force. The 337th "Ghost" Squadron was equipped in 1978, giving up their Northrop F-5As. After these attacks against strategic targets, the F-4s struck tactical battlefield targets, destroying many Iraqi armored vehicles. New camouflage pattern was named Norm 81 and it came at the same time when the Phantoms were upgraded. The Turkish F-4 fleet was enhanced with 15 secondhand US aircraft delivered in 1981 to Filo 173 and finally, another 15 delivered in 1984 to replace fleet losses. The Australian aircrews praised the choice and the F-4Es were so well received that their popularity threatened the F-111C order at one point. The AIM-9B and F were replaced with the "L" version Sidewinder. This was only the beginning of South Korean F-4 acquisitions, as more ex-USAF F-4Es were delivered in the next few years, giving a total of 103 F-4Es. All of these went to 113 Filo, EskiÅehir. Crews liked the aircraft, and generally rated them better than the Spey-equipped FGR.2s. The RF-4E acquisition was the result of the recognition that the very limited capabilities of the RF-104G were no longer adequate in the context of the NATO âflexible responseâ doctri⦠AIRFIGHTERS.COM - Military Aircraft Photos. [51], On 9 March 2020, the RF-4 was retired after 45 years in JASDF service. Their F-4Es were equipped with digital processors for the APG-120, laser inertial navigation systems, digital data buses, smoke-reduction systems and various structural improvements. A proposal made by DASA was evaluated that would have included installation of the APG-66 radar and AMRAAM missiles. Nota: Prezzi e disponibilità sono solo indicazioni. Initially, a total of 140 FG.1s were to be ordered for the Fleet Air Arm; the intention was to operate the Phantom from both of the Royal Navy's remaining large fleet carriers, Eagle and Ark Royal, and the brand new CVA-01 carriers.

The Al Quwwat al Jawwiya il Misriya (Egyptian Air Force or EAF) encountered Israeli F-4s during fighting between the two states, especially during the later stages of the War of Attrition and the 1973 Yom Kippur War. In 1973, under the “Peace Rhine” program, the Luftwaffe purchased the F-4F (a lightened and simplified version of the F-4E) which was upgraded in the mid-1980s. Israel employed three F-4E(S), which were equipped with a special high-altitude camera system (HIAC) for reconnaissance missions. This last batch brought the number of F-4s serving with the PA to 121. Although not deployed in a war role RAF Phantoms were involved in air-defence duties on Quick Reaction Alert. In a fierce aerial battle on 30 July 1970, four Phantoms baited the Egyptian MiGs which this time were Soviet-manned.

During this time it was the primary interceptor, air superiority fighter and fighter bomber with the U.S. Navy, Marines and Air Force. ", "Downing of Turkish jet unlikely to spark international intervention in Syrian conflict. Other British contractors, including Short Brothers and British Aircraft Corporation, built sub-assemblies and supplied parts to the United States where the aircraft were assembled by McDonnell Douglas at Saint Louis. The two RAF squadrons converted to the Tornado F.3 in 1989 when the FG.1s were withdrawn from service. The South Korean Air Force has been quite satisfied with the F-4 and has carried out upgrades to extend their lifespan. All the remaining Luftwaffe Phantoms were based at Wittmund with Jagdgeschwader 71 (fighter wing 71) in Northern Germany and WTD61 at Manching. The RF-4Cs were given the Spanish designation CR.12.[63]. [13] Operation Peace Patch involved another batch of 12 Phantoms, delivered in 1971. [24], There were many differences between the batches supplied to the Hellenic Air Force. [16], The F-4Fs were employed to fill operational gaps twice; the first time due to Panavia Tornado delays, while the F-4F ICE was needed due to the Eurofighter Typhoon delays.

"[75] The statement went on to claim that the aircraft was found to be a "Turkish military plane that entered Syrian airspace and was dealt with according to laws observed in such cases". [35] Egyptian fighters had a hard time dealing with the F-4s, and their SA-2 Surface-to-air missiles (SAMs) were not effective at low altitudes. Reconnaissance Phantom updates were carried out during several separate programs. This involved 110 aircraft, later reduced to 96, which were upgraded with APG-66 radar, ground attack capabilities and most importantly, ASM-1 or ASM-2 anti-ship missiles (two mounted under the wings).
