The F-4 Phantom, produced by McDonnell, scored the most U.S. fighter victories over Vietnam. It was the only aircraft flown by both the U.S. Navy Blue Angels and the U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds.

In 1962 the aircraft were used to enforce the Cuban blockade. On July 10, 1965, two F-4 Phantom aircraft downed two Mig aircraft, the first U. S. air victories of the Vietnam War.

On July 24, 1965, a F-4 Phantom was shot down by a surface to air missile over Vietnam. This was the first U.S. aircraft downed by an enemy missile in the Vietnam War.

From 1965 to1972, during the Vietnam War, over 100 MiG aircraft were destroyed by F-4 Phantom aircraft in the air, and on the ground.

On January 17, 1991, during Operation Desert Storm, F-4 Phantom Wild Weasel aircraft were used to suppress Iraqi guided missile fire.

The F-4 Phantom is capable of performing in all weather conditions. It was first used by the US Navy as an interceptor, but also flew as a ground-support aircraft for the U. S. Marine Corps. Eventually it flew virtually every type of aircraft mission including fleet defense, attack, air superiority, long range strike, electronic counter measures, and reconnaissance.

Over 5,000 F-4 Phantom aircraft were produced in 15 different types before production ended in 1979. Over 2,600 went to the USAF and about 1,200 to the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps. The remainder were sold to U.S. Allies. The USAF flew them into the 1990's.

A number of nations continue to fly upgraded F-4 Phantom aircraft and it appears that they will probably still be active in air forces around the world through 2020.

Al Clarkson sent us the following email review of his HET-RC rc F-4 Phantom:

"My F-4 Phantom for sale from HET-RC has a wingspan of 32" and is 48" long, with a weight of just over 4 lbs. It features a plywood and balsawood fuse and foamy wings with sheeted balsawood over them. I use a pair of 2725 brushless motors with a 50 Amp ESC driven with a 2300 mAH battery. The color scheme and decals are terrific.

I was looking for a high performance rc airplane and the F-4 Phantom fills the bill. Not only does it fly fast, but it will do just about any maneuvers I'm capable of, while its good looks will attract attention at the flying field.

Even though it flies fast, the F-4 Phantom slows down nicely for landings. The F-4 Phantom from HET-RC goes together quickly and easily."

We received this email review of the F-4 Phantom for sale from NitroPlanes from Bill Bass:
"The F-4 Phantom for sale from NitroPlanes is a great looking and flying scale model radio control airplane. Its details get lots of attention at the flying field and I appreciate its speed and maneuverability. Mine weighs in at around 2 lbs. with a 14.8 Volt battery. It will fly rock solid, even in strong cross winds. The F-4 Phantom for sale from NitroPlanes is one rc airplane that I take to the field at every opportunity."

Jeff Palmer sent us this email:
"I like the flying characteristics of the F-4 Phantom for sale from NitroPlanes. It is fast, yet responsive to every input. This rc airplane goes where it is pointed, and can maneuver with the best of them. It will roll, loop, and even do low level inverted passes right over the runway. Not only does it look good and fly great, but the F-4 Phantom for sale from NitroPlanes price is right."

Paul Siddle emailed to ask about a discontinued F-4 Phantom for sale in kit form from Fen Chen. It has a 36" wingspan and is powered by an engine turning a 5" fan. He was wondering if there was a similar kit out there. We told Paul about the numerous Chinese factories, all producing similar scale models of the F-4 Phantom for sale. However, before taking a chance with a model made thousands of miles away, and a company with little if any customer service, we suggested spending a little more for what you know is a quality F-4 Phantom for sale at your local hobby shop backed by personal customer service.
