Notes:
The 'McDonnell Douglas F-4 Phantom II' is a two seater long range supersonic jet that was first introduced in 1960s. Used as an interceptor, fighter and bomber it was extensively used during the Vietnam war. It served as the main air superiority fighter for both the Navy and Air Force, and became important in the ground-attack and reconnaissance roles late in the war. The F-4 is the only aircraft to be flown by the U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds and the Navy's Blue Angels at the same time. 5195 of these fighters were built and the aircraft is still in active service even today. The F-4C Phantom on display at the Cavanaugh Flight Museum is on loan to the Frontiers of Flight Museum from the National Museum of the USAF. The aircraft is a combat veteran and carries the same colors it wore on May 20,1967 when Lt. Bob Titus and 1st Lt. Milan Zimer shot down a MiG-21 over Vietnam.
