Unfortenately, a little unsharp picture, but this F-4D, first flight on 11 Nov'66, shot down a VPAF MiG-21 over North Vietnam on 31 May'72 while deployed with the 555th TFS from RTAFB Ubon (Thailand). Great to see that years later, the MiG-killer still proudly wears the kill mark on its splitter plate. The F-4D went to AMARC with inventory number FP233 on 4 Apr'89. Departed the storage depot on 6 Jun'91, it was moved to the Nation Guard museum, Topeka (KS). Was taken-up at AMARC (poss admin only) as FP1061 on 9 April 1998 up to 16 June 2003 when it left for the Combat Air Museum, Topeka.

At the Western International yard. This Phantom, with one Mig kill, would later be on display at the Kansas ANG museum at Topeka - Regional / Forbes Field (KFOE)

On May 31st 1972 Capt. Richard S. Ritchie / 1Lt. Lawrence H. Pettit shot down a MiG-21 with #801
