This RF-4B performed its first flight in June 1965 and was delivered to VMCJ-3 in August. This picture was taken shortly after that. Already five years later, the Phantom was sent into storage at MASDC, but in 1978 it went back into the air with VMFP-3. It was damaged beyond repair on 25 January 1984 on board USS Midway in a landing accident. The RF-4B is now preserved at El Centro.
