McDonnell Douglas built this airframe as a F-4E. It was later modified to F-4G. Clearly having some issues on the flightline of George AFB. This F-4G was moved to AMARC on 19 June 1992 and received inventory code FP860. If was sold to HVF West, Tucson (AZ) on 19 December 2017 and was subsequently scrapped.

This Phantom flew with the 32nd TFS 'CR' from Soesterberg (the Netherlands) in the late 1970s. It returned to CONUS and was assigned to the 35th TFW at George. After service, the Phantom was stored at AMARC on 8 March 1991 and received inventory code FP0612. It was selected for the QF-4E programme and moved to BAE Systems, Mojave (CA) on 23 October 2003. It got code DD250 assigned and was delivered to the 82nd ATRS on 27 April 2004. It changed code to AF259 and was shot down over the Gulf of Mexico on 27 June 2007.

Built as a F-4E-44-MC by McDonnell Douglas at Saint Louis in 1970, 69-7263 was first assigned to the 4th TFW, Seymour Johnson AFB, NC. In 1972/73 it was deployed to Ubon RTAFB and in 1977 it was one of 116 undergoing conversion to F-4G Wild Weasel configuration with electronics to seek out SAM air defence radars. It then served various units at Nellis AFB, George AFB and Spangdahlem in Germany. Deployed to Bahrain with the 35th TFW in early 1991, it launched over 40 missiles during Desert Storm before transfer in 1992 to the 190th TFS/124th FG Idaho ANG at Boise. It joined the USAFM in 1996

This Thunderchief began operational service in 1964 as a standard F-105F. In 1967 it joined the 355th TFW in Thailand, where it flew combat missions for nearly three years. During this time, it became one of a select few USAF aircraft to claim three MiG kills. In 1970 it was fitted with ECM gear and joined the 388th TFW for "Wild Weasel" duty, attacking enemy surface-to-air missile sites. Converted to full F-105G spec in 1972, it spent a further year in SE Asia before going the 35th TFW at George AFB, CA (my 1979 photo here). Ferried to the USAFM in 1980
