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 57th Fighter Interceptor Squadron “The Black Knights of Keflavik” were based at NAS Keflavik, Iceland from 1954 until March 1, 1995 when the 57th was inactivated.

In 1984 it was announced that the 57th FIS would receive the McDonnell Douglas F-15 Eagle. 66-0300 was sold to Turkey with a look alike in a Keflavik hangar.

TOn June 29, 2013 a ceremony was held at Wittmund AB, Germany to say farewell to the last F-4 Phantom II in the Luftwaffe. The aircraft had a special paint scheme called “First In – Last Out” along with “Phantom Pharewell” emblazoned along the fuselage sides. F-4F 37+01 serial 72- 1111 took its maiden flight on May 18, 1973 and thereby becoming Germany’s first and last F-4. This celebration marked 40 years of Phantom II service with the Luftwaffe that operated 175 of these aircraft and in which more than 1,000 pilots had flown.
