History:

The McDonnell Douglas F-4 Phantom II was a groundbreaking fighter that entered service with the US Navy in the 1960s. Known for its speed, versatility, and heavy weapons load, the Phantom served across multiple branches of the US military and allied nations. The VF-111 “Sundowners” squadron, with its distinctive rising sun tail markings, flew the F-4B during the Vietnam War, engaging in both air-to-air combat and strike missions. The squadron gained fame for its combat effectiveness and its striking livery, which remains one of the most recognisable schemes of the Phantom era. The F-4B Phantom’s legacy continues to resonate as one of the most important fighters of the Cold War.
