Photo Comment

On 5 June 2024, the RoKAF held their rehearsals for the last flight of the F-4E on 7 June 2024. Weeks before this event, this F-4E was repainted from its grey colors into this fine original colorscheme. It was used by the RoKAF for some magnificent air-to-air pictures. The McDonnell Douglas built F-4E-64 was delivered under the US Foreign Military Sales program Peace Pheasant II and it carries FMS serial 78-0739. The aircraft made its first flight on 14 May 1979 and was delivered to the RoKAF on 18 June 1979 as 80-739. It was officially retired after the ceremony on 7 June 2024.
