Delivered to the US Navy as 150639. Stored at Davis-Monthan AFB in 1982. Painted in fake USAF markings and preserved in Warrior Park at Davis-Monthan AFB from 1985.

In 1965 the USAF sent its first F-4Cs to Southeast Asia, where they flew air-to-air missions against North Vietnamese fighters as well as attacking ground targets. The first USAF pilot to score four combat victories with F-4s there was Col. Robin Olds, a WWII ace. This aircraft is the one in which he and his backseat co-pilot destroyed two MiG-17s in a single day in May 1967. Last serving the 149th TFG (TX ANG) at Kelly AFB from 1983 (and briefly the CA ANG), it was ferried to the USAFM in April 1986

The Phantom performing a nice up close fly-by at the 2010 Riverside show

Low approach arrival for the 2007 Aviation Nation air show.

Staging from March to perform at 2 different airshows was this beautiful QF-4E from Holloman AFB. In this photo the Phantom is departing runway 14 to hustle down to Yuma and upon it's return will fly later that day and perform at Riverside Municipal A/P. Pay no attention to the man in the back seat.....

In the golden evening hour this QF-4E is taxiing out in front of the famous Sunrise Mountains.

72-0162 belonged to the USAF Heritage Flight. She was painted as SCAT XXVII in honor of Robin Olds. After ceasing QF-4 FSAT operations, she became an air-to-ground target at the WSMR, NM
