The McDonnell Douglas F-4 was the main multipurpose aircraft for the US Military for 20 years.
The F-4E variant was an improved version of the C/D with an elongated nose and compact
radar. These two things made it possible to install a 20mm M61A1 6 barrel 640 round Vulcan
gun pod in the nose. The F-4E was the most produced variant with 1387 aircraft being made
over its 12 year production period. The “E” also equipped more air forces than any other
variant of the Phantom II.


The German government had ordered 88 RF-4Es and this particular aircraft was the first one of
the order produced at the McDonnell-Douglas facility in St. Louis. Because of this the aircraft
was dubbed the “Spirit of St. Louis” and given the USAF serial 69-7448. It first flew on
September 15, 1970 and was accepted by the Luftwaffe on January 17, 1971. The first flight as
35+01 with the Luftwaffe was with the Aufklarungeschwader 51 "Immelmann" (AKG 51) based
at Bremgarten on January 20, 1971.
