The McDonnell Douglas F-4 was the main multipurpose aircraft for the US Military for 20 years. The F-4E variant was an improved version of the C/D with an elongated nose and compact radar. These two things made it possible to install a 20mm M61A1 6 barrel 640 round Vulcan gun pod in the nose. The F-4E was the most produced variant with 1387 aircraft being made over its 12 year production period. The �E� also equipped more air forces than any other variant of the Phantom II.

On October 15, 1972 F-4E 67-0232 was flown by Captain G.M. Rubus and Captain J.L. Hendrickson on 15 October 1972 when they scored a victory against a MiG-21. At the time they were based at Udorn RTAFB and assigned to the 307th TFS/432nd TRW. In the early 1980�s the aircraft joined the 4th TFW/337th TFS based at Seymour Johnson AFB, NC. The 337th TFS only existed from April 1, 1982 � April 1, 1985. The aircraft was sent to AMARC (Aerospace Maintenance And Regeneration Center) from September 1986 � June 1987. Then it was flown to the Ogden Air Logistics Center (ALC) where it was refurbished for delivery to the Turkish AF, 131 Filo in October 1987.
