Unfortenately, a little unsharp picture, but this F-4D, first flight on 11 Nov'66, shot down a VPAF MiG-21 over North Vietnam on 31 May'72 while deployed with the 555th TFS from RTAFB Ubon (Thailand). Great to see that years later, the MiG-killer still proudly wears the kill mark on its splitter plate. The F-4D went to AMARC with inventory number FP233 on 4 Apr'89. Departed the storage depot on 6 Jun'91, it was moved to the Nation Guard museum, Topeka (KS). Was taken-up at AMARC (poss admin only) as FP1061 on 9 April 1998 up to 16 June 2003 when it left for the Combat Air Museum, Topeka.
