The McDonnell Douglas F-4 Phantom II is a two-seat, twin-engine, all-weather, long-range supersonic jet interceptor aircraft/fighter-bomber originally developed for the United States Navy by McDonnell Aircraft. It first entered service in 1960 with the U.S. Navy. Proving highly adaptable, it was also adopted by the U.S. Marine Corps and the U.S. Air Force, and by the mid-1960s had become a major part of their respective air wings. This is the Air-To-Air version as it has fuel tanks for longer range, extra gun pods for close-in combat, and various missiles.
