This F-4E was assigned to the Thunderbirds from 1969-1972. On 4 June 1972, flying as #3, it had a structural failure of the horizontal stabilizer and crashed during the Transpo 72 Airshow at Dulles Airport, Washington, D.C. The pilot had a good ejection, but during his descent the wind blew his parachute into the burning aircraft wreckage and he perished.
