The F-4J was the last version produced for the USN and USMC. The “J” version
was basically an upgraded “B” version with new radar and avionics as well as a
better engine that required a longer afterburner nozzle. One of the most
noticeable changes to the “J” version is what isn’t there; the infrared seeker
under the nose was deleted. Also missing was an internal gun but Sparrow and
Sidewinder missiles were used for intercepting. Between 1966 and 1972 there
were 522 F-4Js built. The F-4J had the distinction of scoring the only USMC air-to-
air combat victory in Vietnam and it also was the last US operational aircraft in
South East Asia. In mid 1970 the F-4 Phantom II was being replaced by the new
and improved F-14 Tomcat.


F-4J BuNo 157293 a/c 101 was flown by Cdr. Samuel Flynn and Lt. William John
and is generally accepted as the aircraft they were flying when they shot down a
MiG-21 on June 21, 1972. According to Cdr. Flynn they were flying F-4J 157307 at
the time and when he was assigned the new F-4J 157293 the kill markings were
transferred to that aircraft. F-4J 157307 is on display at the NASM-Dulles wearing
VMFA-232 markings while 157293 is on display at the Texas Air Museum, Slaton,
TX.
