Historical information

The McDonnell Douglas F-4 Phantom II was a legendary fighter and multirole aircraft that entered service with the United States Air Force in the early 1960s. Variants C, D, E, F, and G differed in avionics, armament, and mission profiles—from fighter roles, bomber missions, to electronic warfare (Wild Weasel) operations. The MB Mk.7 seats used in Phantoms provided crew safety during missions in such conflicts as the Vietnam War, Cold War operations, and actions in Western Europe, Israel, and other F-4 operating countries.
