Photo Comment
This ex USAF F-4E (77-1759) was delivered to Greece on 20 December 1978. The F-4 was pictured here when assigned to 338 MPK at Andravida. The Phantom was modified to F-4E Avionics Upgrade Program (AUP). The AUP resulted into an increase in the combat effectiveness of the Phantom and was dubbed "Peace Icarus". The mods included new databus', a powerfull radar, mission computer, fire control and armament control system (supporting AMRAAM), navigation system with embedded GPS and INS, communication, TACAN, IFF, radar altimeter, and data transfer. 35 Greek F-4s were modified as such.
