Notes:

This Phantom has an interesting history. In 1970 it suffered a ground fire during a hot refuel at Davis-Monthan AFB, the damage was so extensive it was a hull loss and the jet was retired. The Phantom would eventually be spliced back together for display using parts from other F-4Cs and the nose and cockpit section of a Navy F-4B. Eventually after being displayed at a handful of other locations (including the National Museum of the US Air Force) it was brought to the Newark Heath Airport where she now quietly lives out the rest of her days
