The 110th Tactical Fighter Squadron deployed under Coronet Shield to Hopsten air base in Germany with twelve F-4Es. The deployment was held from 28 May and 11 June 1988. This 403 was sold to Turkey as 68-0403 in July 1991 and started to serve 172 Filo as 7-403. This Phantom was the first one modernized under the Turkish "Simsek" programme and after upgrade it was redesignated as F-4E/TM. The aircraft was eventually withdrawn from use by November 2001.
