QF-4E 72-0166 flew the final unmanned mission in the skies over the White Sands Missile Range, NM on August 17, 2016. During this mission 2 AMRAAM AIM-120s were shot at her by a F-35 Lighting II. The test was described as successfull, and luckily 72-0166 returned home safely. After ceasing the QF-4 FSAT operations in December 2016, she ended up as an air-to-ground target at the WSMR
