The most legendary and used fighter plane in US history, is the F4 Phantom II. The F4 performed nearly every combat function in the Vietnam War: Reconnaissance; Wild Weasel (SAM suppression); Fighter Escort; Bombing Missions; and CAS Close Air Support.

In addition:

1. The F4 were the USA's LAST FLYING ACE'S of the 20th century.

2. The F4 was the second most producted jet in US history.

3. All branches of the US Forces utilized the F4 in Vietnam: US Air Force; US Navy; and the US Marine Corps. By law, the US Army was not authorized fixed-wing attack aircraft. No other attack jet met those standards.
