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.
The first of the 175 German F-4Fs touched down at Wittmundhafen Air Base in 1973 with final delivery in April 1976. The F-4F replaced the F-104s that had equipped two interceptor wings, JG-71 Richthofen, JG-74 Molders and two ground attack wings JBG-35 and JBG-36. 2013 saw the last of the German F-4s so F-4Fs 37+01 and 38+10 were given special paint schemes to mark the occasion. 37+01 was painted gold and blue while 38+10 was painted in Norm 72, the original paint scheme for the F-4F.
