The F-4J Phantom II is a fighter-bomber aircraft that was developed by the aerospace company McDonnell Douglas for the United States Navy. It was introduced in 1966, and was used extensively during the Vietnam War for air-to-air and air-to-ground operations.
The aircraft had a top speed of Mach 2.2 and a range of approximately 1,600 miles. It was equipped with advanced avionics, including radar and a fire control system, and could carry up to 18,000 pounds of weaponry, such as missiles, bombs, and rocket pods.
The F-4J Phantom II was given the nickname "Sundowners" due to its prestigious service with the Navy's VF-111 squadron, which became known as the Sundowners. It was later renamed the "Jolly Rogers" when the VF-84 squadron took over the aircraft.
The Phantom II also saw service with other countries including the United Kingdom, Australia, and Germany. It remained in service with the US Navy until 1986 when it was replaced by the F/A-18 Hornet, but it continued to serve with other countries for several years. Overall, over 5,000 Phantom II aircraft were produced and used by over a dozen countries.
