JG-71 unveils “FIRST IN, LAST OUT” F-4F Phantom II 37+01



This old gal has been a great plane serving many nations and involved in countless combat missions over the span of almost 50 years. It's sad to see her go but just like everything else she will be replaced by shinier new models that may be more capable and prettier but not necessarily finer.

Some really GREAT pics at that site.

40 years of service with the Luftwaffe...and upgraded with the latest Sidewinder and AMRAAM missiles and new, powerful radars. Still had a lot of fight in them.

I believe Turkey, Greece, Egypt, and Iran still operate them. Maybe Japan still does also.

Very long life for these aircraft. Great missile carrier.
