Former 81st FS. On this day, Spangdahlem air base (Germany) said goodbye to its venerable F-4G Phantom II. The final four Wild Weasels left the air base, bound for CONUS. An early morning visit to the flightline, taxiway and runway yield the quartet F-4s, including this 259 which was fully unmarked in its Egypt One color scheme. The F-4 was stored at AMAG from 28 February 1996 up to 30 July 1997 with inventory code FP1020. It was selected for the QF-4G program, and after conversion it was assigned to the 82nd ATRS and eventually shot down over the Gulf of Mexico as target drone on 23 May 2000.

This F-4G was later converted to QF-4G and was lost as such on 23 May 2000.
