General Background
The F-4 Phantom II first entered US Military service in 1960. It was designed as a fleet defense fighter for the US Navy but by 1963 it was adopted as the US Air Force primary fighter-bomber. Despite the size and weight of this Cold War icon the F-4 broke 15 world records and continued to hold five of them until 1975.

Produced from 1960 to 1981 there were 5,195 Phantom IIs manufactured. Eleven countries other than the USA had the Phantom II in their inventory.
The Aircraft
Due to the delay of delivery of the F-111, 24 F-4Es were leased to Australia Air Force under the Peace Reef programme in 1970. The F-4Es served with N0. 1 and No.6 Squadrons based at RAAF Base Amberley.

In 1972 United States offered to sell the least aircrafts to Australia but the offer was turned down due to economic reasons. During its service, the F-4 Phantom was highly praised by the aircrews.
