In 1976, the USA celebrated its Bicentennial. The F-4C that had the best serial for a special colorscheme for this occasion was 63-7676, as can be seen on this picture. The aircraft also carries two MiG-kill markings, not because this Phantom was involved in any, but because the commander of the 58th was. Unfortunately, this F-4C crashed into the Pacific Ocean off Oregon on 3 January 1989. This photo was added on 18 October 2020, and has since been viewed 2489 times. |
