	F-4 Phantom II - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The F-4 Phantom II was also the only aircraft used by both of the USA's flight demonstration teams.
		Phantom II production ended in the United States in 1979 after 5,195 had been built (5,057 by McDonnell Douglas and 138 in Japan by Mitsubishi), making it the second most produced and exported American military-jet; the F-86 Sabre still remains the most numerous jet-powered warplane produced and exported by the United States.
		The Fleet Air Arm Phantoms were fitted with a double-telescoping front landing gear strut which could extend 40 inches (102 cm), the increased angle of attack being necessary for catapult launches from the smaller British carrier HMS Ark Royal (R09).

		Image:F-4 Phantom II in flying.jpg Image:F4Phantom.JPG Template:Redirect5 The McDonnell Douglas F-4 Phantom II (Model 98) is a two-place (tandem), supersonic, long-range, all-weather fighter-bomber.
		Phantom II production ended in the United States in 1979 after 5,057 had been built, making it the second most numerous US jet after F-86 Sabre mdash; more than 2,800 went to the USAF, about 1,200 to the Navy and Marine Corps, and the rest to foreign customers.
		On the 14th of August 1968 a F-4 Phantom II of the US Air Force from the military base Soesterberg in The Netherlands was involved in an accident in heavy fog where the tip of a wing hit one of the guy-wires of a television transmission tower, Zendstation Smilde.

		About the McDonnell F-4C/D Phantom II In May 1958, the McDonnell F4H-1 Phantom II prototype was rolled out of their facility at Lambert Field, St. Louis, Missouri.
		From these beginnings until well into the 1970's the F4 Phantom II would be the primary fighter aircraft of the free world.
		The Navy's Phantom II's were flown from aircraft carriers, and the Phantom II's of the Air Force and the Marines were flown from their bases in South Vietnam and Thailand to engage in North Vietnameses's MiGs.

	F-4 Phantom II
		The F-4 Phantom II was one of the most successful fighter developed during the 60's.
		The F-4 Phantom II have a combat radius of 460km and is capable of destroying enemy aircraft within its radar range (compared to other aircraft of that era that required ground radar assistance, the Phantom was extremely advanced).
		The F-4 Phantom II have convincingly defeated the XF-8U03 Crusader III in an fly-off trial.

	F-4A Phantom II
		The origins of the Phantom II can be traced back to June 1953, when the US Navy contracted for Its next carrierborne fighter with Vought rather than McDonnell.
		Named Phantom II in July 1959, the F4H was thus the USA’s first all-missile fighter with a radar fire-control system that removed, for the first time in a naval fighter, the need for surface radar assistance.
		Evidence of the Phantom Il’s tremendous initial capability and development potential was provided by a string of world records for attitude, climb, straight speed and closed-circuit speed established during the fighter’s development and early service phases.

	F-4 Phantom II
		F-4 Phantom II The F-4 Phantom II was a twin-engine, all-weather, fighter-bomber.
		The name Phantom II was chosen to declare the aircraft’s lineage from McDonnell’s FD-1 Phantom which was the first all-jet aircraft the Navy operated.
		Phantom II production ended in 1979 after over 5,000 in 15 different models had been built -- more than 2,600 for the USAF, about 1,200 for the Navy and Marine Corps, and the rest for other nations, including to Israel, Iran, Greece, Spain, Turkey, South Korea, West Germany, Australia, Japan, and Great Britain.

		The impressive performance of the Navy F4H Phantom immediately caught the attention of the USAF, which ordinarily would have been quite reluctant even to consider any aircraft that had originally designed for the Navy.
		In March of 1962, the Defense Department announced that land-based versions of the Phantom were to be the standard tactical fighter and tactical reconnaissance aircraft of the USAF.
		The Navy F4H-1 Phantom was redesignated F-4B, whereas the Air Force F-110A became known as F-4C and the YRF-110A became YRF-4C.

		The McDonnell F4H-1 Phantom II It all started in 1954 when the US Navy asked McDonnell Aircraft to design an aircraft to fill their needs for a twin engine attack fighter.
		The next 16 aircraft built were referred to as pre-production aircraft, and in 1961 the Navy re-designated them as F4H-1F's.
		Phantom II demonstrated its abilities in speed, agility, weapons variations, mission changes, and the pilots loved to fly the massive, smoking beast.

		On July 3, 1959, the F4H-1 was officially named Phantom II in a ceremony held at the McDonnell plant in St Louis.
		The Phantoms could carry a podded cannon mounted on the centerline, but it was relatively inaccurate, caused excessive drag which reduced the performance of the Phantom carrying it, and took up a valuable ordinance/fuel station.
		However, by 1986, all of the Phantoms serving with the Atlantic and Pacific Fleets were gone, the last carrier launch of an F-4S having taken place on March 24, 1986 when F-4Ss from VF-151 and VF-161 were launched from the USS Midway for the last time.

		Since the J79-GE-8s originally intended for the Phantom were still not available, the first 45 F4H-1s which had been ordered were powered by a pair of 16,150 lb.s.t.
		However, the Phantom was at that time viewed primarily as a shipboard interceptor with only a secondary attack capability, and this system was not adopted for production F-4As or Bs.
		The Phantom had a thrust/weight ratio that had never before been achieved by any fighter, and a ratio exceeding unity was often achievable in practice, enabling the aircraft to continue to accelerate while traveling straight up.

	Global Aircraft -- History of Aviation
		During World War II, aircraft became a decisive factor in warfare.
		Before World War II only about 193,000 people were employed in the aviation industry, and during 1941 the number increased to 450,000; also, around 3,375,000 passengers were transported by 18 U.S. airlines at this time, around 1 million more than in 1940.
		After World War II and by 1947 all the basic technology needed for aviation had been developed; jet propulsion, aerodynamics, radar, etc. Civilian aircraft orders drastically increased from 6,844 in 1941 to 40,000 by the end of 1945.

		In 1962, the Phantom II (F4H-1) set a world speed record for an airplane not powered by a rocket.
		The Phantom II sustained a speed of 1,606.342 mph, 81 mph faster than the record established by an Air Force F-106* in 1959.
		Designed for carrier operations, the Phantom II was also slow enough to land on a carrier, a point McDonnell demonstrated by flying it in formation with a Ryan PT-22, a World War II trainer that had a top speed of 118 knots.
