Ex-USN F-4N 151424, originally ordered as an F4H-1, but redesignated F-4B-16-MC prior to delivery. The original dataplate is still present, which reveals she was built under contract number NOW63-0062, and accepted by the USN 19 November 1963. However, it also gives the c/n as 6341 for unknown reasons. Marked as F-4D 63-7660, of the 906th TFG at Wright-Patterson AFB during the 1980s.

Front seater's instrument panel. This is actually the cockpit section of F-4N 151424, which was used during the filming of the ABC TV Series "Call to Glory" for cockpit scenes. It is displayed as F-4D 66-7660, assigned to the 906th TFG at Wright-Patterson AFB in the 1980s. This wasn't my first time sitting in this airplane, but the last time it happened I was quite a bit shorter.
