Only one fighter plane can claim the title of the last US flying ace of the 20th century; the F4 Phantom II!

At the same time, only one fighter plane can claim the title of having fought in combat with all three branches (USAF, USN, USMC); the F4 Phantom II!

Only one fighter plane can claim the record of having successfully performed in combat: Reconnaissance; Wild Weasel (SAM suppression); Bombing Missions; CAS Close Air Support; MiG Cap (fighter escort missions); the F4 Phantom II!

No aircraft in history can claim the above listed record.
