The USAF Thunderbirds operated the F-4E 1969-1973. F-4E 66-0302 was the lead (#1) a/c in 1970. It had a fairly short life with the USAF, being retired in September 1977. It was on display for many years at McDill AFB, Florida, but was scrapped in 2016 due to severe airframe corrosion. It is difficult to identify the Thunderbird airframes as the USAF s/n is not displayed on the aircraft. The USN Blue Angels do display the USN Bureau Number on their aircraft.
