About 265 F-4Js were upgraded to F-4S standard between 1979 & 1985, involving strengthening, the fitment of two-position wing leading-edge manoeuvring slats (50% improvement in combat turning capability) and digital weapons control system, plus 'smokeless' J79 engines. This example was wfu by 6.86 and stored at MCAS Cherry Point
