The McDonnell Douglas F-4B Phantom II, a twin-engine, all-weather fighter-bomber, was a mainstay of U.S. naval aviation. First flown on May 27, 1958, and entering service in 1960, it was renowned for its versatility and power. Powered by two General Electric J79-GE-8 engines, each producing 17,000 pounds of thrust, it reached speeds of Mach 2.2 and had a range of 1,600 miles. Its 38-foot wingspan and armament, including AIM-7 Sparrow and AIM-9 Sidewinder missiles, plus up to 16,000 pounds of bombs, made it lethal in air-to-air and air-to-ground roles. The F-4B saw extensive action in Vietnam, flying over 5,000 sorties for the Navy and Marine Corps, and set multiple speed and altitude records. Its rugged design and distinctive shape earned it the nickname “Rhino.”
