In late 1975, Marine Strike Fighter squadron (VMFA) 134 Smoke flew the A-4F Skyhawk before its switched to Phantom II in 1983. The squadron transitioned to F/A-18A Hornet in late 1989. This Phantom was built in 1968 as F-4J and converted to F-4S in the late seventies. 155847 moved in July 1991 to MCAS Cherry Point (NC) for storage and by 2003 it was converted to QF-4S. By late 2003, it was reported as dumped at San Nicolas Island (CA) and officially removed from USN/USMC inventory.
