The F-4 Phantom II is a Cold War legend — a big, powerful, twin-engine fighter that served the US and allies for decades. A few air forces still fly upgraded Phantoms into the modern era.
Fun fact
Critics joked it was 'proof that with enough thrust, even a brick can fly.' It still set 16 world records for speed and altitude.
How to spot one
Twin engines, distinctive downturned tailplanes and upturned outer wings. Smoky exhaust.
