THE AIRCRAFT

Meet McDonnell Douglas F-4 Phantom II

The Phantom began as a US Navy aircraft and was subsequently adopted by the US Air Force, Marine Corps and numerous export customers. Its large intakes, upward-angled outer wing panels and downward-angled tailplanes give it a distinctive shape.

The family evolved through interceptor, strike and reconnaissance versions with different equipment. Its long service history also includes substantial national upgrades. A simulator's F-4 designation therefore needs its variant context before radar, engine or cockpit details can be meaningfully compared.
