Historical description:
The McDonnell Douglas F-4D Phantom II is an American jet fighter, one of the most iconic aircraft of the Cold War era. The "D" version was introduced in the mid-1960s, with its primary operator being the United States Air Force (USAF), which used this aircraft both as an air superiority fighter and as a fighter-bomber. The F-4D Phantom II saw combat during the Vietnam War, where it proved itself in many missions. The late version featured upgraded avionics, instrument panel, and new targeting systems.
