EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases a pre-production McDonnell F4H-1F Phantom II, specifically aircraft 145315b (msn 16), as it was stationed at Memphis Naval Air Technical Training Center (NATTC) on October 21, 1975. The United States Navy's F4H Phantom II, later redesignated as the F-4A-2-MC, is a legendary military aircraft that first took to the skies in the early 1960s. In this image, we see the Phantom II in its raw, unaltered form before its official designation. The aircraft's sleek and powerful design is evident, with its distinctive twin-engine configuration and distinctive tail fin. The Phantom II was a versatile and formidable aircraft, capable of performing various roles, including fighter, reconnaissance, and air superiority. After its time at Memphis NATTC, 145315b was put on display aboard the USS Lexington, which was docked at Corpus Christi, Texas. The aircraft was loaned from the National Naval Aviation Museum, a testament to its historical significance. The USS Lexington, a retired aircraft carrier, now serves as a museum ship and is a popular tourist attraction in the area. This photograph offers a unique glimpse into the history of the United States Navy and the evolution of military aviation technology. The McDonnell F4H-1F Phantom II, with its impressive design and capabilities, remains an iconic symbol of American military might and innovation.
