Following its deployment to Alconbury (UK) with the 1st TRS, this RF-4C became an instructional airframe at Aviano (Italy) up to late 1991. The recce Phantom was placed into storage to AMARC with inventory code FP0792 from 9 December 1991 to July 2008. It was brought back to life as QFR-4C with the 82nd ATRS as AF369. The Phantom was shot down as an aerial target on 7 November 2012.

This Phantom of the 17th TRS (hence "17" on the tail), received a white tail in connection to its participation in the 1973 Royal Flush exercise at Florennes. The serial is visible on the nosewheel door. The aircraft was later converted to QRF-4C and lost as such in 2012.
