Force after it embarrassed many of the traditionally used craft. The Phantom II
was victorious time after time in conflicts around the globe. Today, the Phantom
has been replaced by the F-16. It is still in service in the air force of many
nations, and is currently utilized in the U.S. as a training craft. Equipped with a full

Watch this Video where an F4 Phantom Crashes into
a Concrete Wall at 500 mph
First made in the early part of the Viet Nam War, the phantom is still flying in the United States Air Force as well as many other countries military air forces. One of the interesting jobs where the F4 phantom used is the function as the Wild Weasel. For this job the phantom intentionally fly's into suspected surface to air missile areas attempting to draw fire from the enemy missile batteries. Are these pilots crazy, probably, but this allows the Wild Weasel to fire its weapons (HARM Missiles) at the ground radar site. This method has been very successful and has been widely used from the Viet Nam era to the Gulf War. I'm not sure, but one reason that the phantom may be so successful at this job may be because of the it's construction provided very little stealth characteristics. The HARM Missile System (High Speed Anti-Radiation Missile) detects the enemy's radar energy using the HTS (Harm Targeting System) antennas and processes the radar information in an onboard computer which determines bearing and range to the radar source. The HTS system also determines what type of SAM (Surface to Air Missile) site the target is (SA-3, SA-4, etc.) The HTS system also works with the other passive ECM (Electronics Counter Measures) systems on the Phantom. U.S. Marines F-4 painted in VMFA-321's - the Hell's Angels' These F-4 Phantom models come in wooden airplane models, diecast airplane models, plastic airplane model kits and mahogany aircraft models. Models are the ultimate educational toy. Building model airplane kits gives both adults and kids a big boost in their lives. |

This exhibit shows the Patterson Aircraft Company in 1980. This is the place that I worked in the last part of the 70's and the first part of the 80's. This was the best job that I have ever had and one of the best crews that I have ever worked with. C. Jeff Dyrek, webmaster. Exhibit Added 1 Sep 2004 |
