Notes:

McDonnell Dougas F-4S Phantom II on display at the USS Midway Museum in San Diego, CA. The F-4 Phantom II was the first jet to see extensive combat service with the Navy, Marine Corps, and Air Force. Though designed with an all-missile armament, the Phantom’s performance made it adaptable to a range of missions including bombing, close support of troops, and even dog fighting agile MiGs over Vietnam. While the F-4 was eventually replaced by the larger F-14 Tomcat on other carriers, the Midway was home to the last Navy Phantoms until 1987.
