Back in 2000 the aircraft was painted to represent Steve Ritchies' F-4D 66-7463 when he recorded his fifth kill with "Triple Nickle" 555TFS over Vietnam in 1972. This aircraft is actually 65-0749 and the 'real' 66-7463 is on display at the USAF Academy in Colorado.

Thanks to an act of Congress the Collings Foundation from Stow, MA received this F-4 (ex 65-0749) in 1998, becoming the first operational civilian F-4 (and at this moment the only flying Phantom left in the USA). Painted as '37-680 / FP' (63-7680) the MIG-killer flown by Col Robin Olds of 8th TFW / 555th TFS, based at Ubon RTAB (Thailand)
