RF-4C

	McDonnell-Douglas Phantom RF-4C
	The F-4 was designed in 1958 by McDonnell-Douglas. It is considered by some to be the fastest and most versatile aircraft ever built. It was used to great effect for air superiority, strike and reconnaissance. It was perhaps the most effective combat aircraft to appear in the 1960s. Over 20 foreign countries have flown the F-4 as standard front-line combat aircraft. The Thunderbirds, the U.S. Air Force Demonstration Team, flew the F-4E from 1969 through the mid-1970s. This RF-4C is the photo reconnaissance version of the Phantom. It is substantially intact, including optics, avionics, ejection seats and engines.
