The order for 175 F-4F Phantom IIs was placed with McDonnell Douglas in 1971. The F-4F is based on the F-4E with minor modifications, partly to improve commonality with the RF-4E. Thanks to the incorporation of semi-automatic slats and a lower weight than the F-4E, the F-4F was the most manoeuvrable version of the F-4 Phantom II.

Description In the early 1980s, around ten years after Germany received their Phantoms, Germany decided to retrofit their F-4Fs in an attempt to modernize them. The F-4Fs at the beginning of their lifecycle were stripped down F-4Es in an attempt to reduce the cost and lost many abilities that the F-4E had.

The Air Force followed suit in 1963. Over the next 25 years, a total of 17 different variants among 5,200 aircraft followed, including the gun-equipped F-4E and the Wild Weasel series. Phantoms flew for 11 nations: Australia, Greece, Iran, Israel, Japan, South Korea, Spain, West Germany, Great Britain, Turkey, and the United States.

Outside of the United States armed forces, the German Luftwaffe was the biggest operator of the Phantom in Europe. Following the end of the Cold War, the F-4F remained in service in the air defense role and the fleet was upgraded under the ICE program gaining multi-mode radar and the AIM-120 active radar-guided air-to-air missile.

Designed to be a tandem two-seat, twin-engine, all-weather, long-range supersonic interceptor and fighter bomber, the F-4 Phantom II saw combat in Vietnam, Israel, Iran, and Turkey.
