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 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. US Navy Fighter Squadron 33 (VF-33) US Navy Fighter Squadron 33 (VF-33) Tarsiers was established on October 11th, 1948 flying the F4U Corsair. It made to deployments to Korea with the Corsair before entering the jet age with the F9F-6 Cougar in 1951. It switched to the FJ-3 Fury in 1954 and then again to the F11F Tiger in 1958 and was briefly renamed “Astronauts”. The squadron flew the F-8 Crusader from 1961 to 1964 when it transitioned once more to the F-4 Phantom II. After flying the Phantom for 17 years, including several combat tours in Vietnam, the squadron adopted the F-14 Tomcat in 1981 and renamed itself once again, this time to “Starfighters”. After flying the Tomcat for 12 years, VF-33 was finally disestablished in 1993.Specifications for the F-4J “Phantom II” Role - Interceptor, fighter-bomber Years in Active Servive - 1958 - 1996 U.S. (In limited service with various countries) Total Aircraft Manufactured - 522 (F-4J) and 5,195 (All versions) Manufactured By - McDonnell Douglas Aircraft Corporation Crew - (2) Pilot and Radar Intercept Officer (RIO) DimensionsMaximum Length - 63 ft 0 in.
