The F-4 Phantom II, developed by the US aircraft company McDonnell Douglas, is a two-seat, all-weather supersonic fighter-bomber aircraft.
It entered service in the 1960s and is one of the most famous aircraft in military aviation history.
It was originally developed specifically for the US Navy, but it was also used by the Air Force and achieved significant commercial success around the world.
The F-4E version, developed specifically for the US Air Force, had an M61 Vulcan cannon in the nose and could be armed with the AIM-9 Sidewinder and AIM-9 Sparrow air-to-air missiles for air superiority missions.
Thanks to its two powerful General Electric J-79 engines, the F-4E was able to reach a top speed of 1240 knots.
Speed, thrust and reliability were the strengths of the Phantom II, successfully compensating for the reduced maneuverability due to its large dimensions.
