Photo Comment
This F-4E was newly delivered in a Foreign Military Sales program (serial 72-1518), Peace Icarus I, to Greece in July 1974. Here it is seen in its original air defense blue colour scheme. It was badly weathered already and the aircraft later received the grey camouflage jacket. In 2023 this Phantom was still active with the Greek Air Force, facing retirement, after over 50 years of service, in the near future This photo is copyright © Stephan de Bruijn, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
