Martin Baker, the manufacturer of those famous ejection seats reported that this RF-4C was written off on 17 February 1993. The USAF confirmed the incident, but without any further details. Best news is that both crew survived the ejection, but the Recce Spook was fully destroyed. The incident most probably took place at of near homebase Birmingham (AL). The Phantom is here shown at the static of Oceana.

Those terrible static shots... the visiting people to the NAS Oceana air show were constantly all-over... but its a nice Marines Bronco. After service, this Delta was moved to the American Warbirds Inc of Gaithersburg (MD) in October 1994, but soon after it was transferred to the US Department of State at Patrick AFB (FL) as N476AW on 21 October 1997. It was withdrawn from use in 2008 and destroyed on 24 March 2009

The US Navy had nine in inventory, one crashed. Only one survived, and this one is in storage at Pensacola.

Delivered to the US Navy in '72, stored at St. Augustine (FL) from May'95, dumped in Atlantic Ocean as artificial reef near Ponce de Leon Inlet (FL) in Jun'96. Attack Squadron (VA) 34 "Blue Blasters" was established as Fighting Squadron (VF) 20 (as "Jokers") on 15 Oct'43 and was redesignated through the years into VF-9A, VF-91 and VF-34 before it became VA-34 on 1 Jul'55. In '57 it was renamed into "Blue Blasters", from their blue tail colors and their nuclear weapon delivery capability. VA-34 was disestablished on 29 May'69 and re-established on 1 Jan'70, and became VFA-34 on 30 Sep'96.

Reserve Fleet Composite Squadron (VC) 12 "Fighting Omars" used this dark, 1963 built, A-4E Skyhawk. VC-12 used the JY tailcode, but this was not carried here. On 16 Jul'93, the squadron flew their last mission with the A-4 and transitioned a year later to the F/A-18A/B Hornet. VC-12 provided adversary training to East Coast Navy air wings. This A-4E was already retired to AMARC from Jan'78 to Jul'80 with inventory code 3A523, but returned to operational service. After VC-12 got rid of their A-4s, it was moved to the National Museum of Naval Aviation at Penscacola.
