DISAPPEARING PHANTOM: ICONIC JET NEARS END OF SERVICE #WARTHOGDEFENSE

It epitomized U.S. air power during the Cold War, was used extensively by the U.S. in Vietnam and was still in active service decades later. But now, the iconic F-4 Phantom II fighter-bomber is flying into the sunset. Only a few dozen Phantoms remain in active service around the world out of 5,195 built during a 20-year production run that started in the 1950s. The American ones, flown by the Air Force, Navy and Marines, are all gone, many of them having been shot down in their final roles as target-practice drones. Those still in use by foreign air forces are slated for retirement in the near future. The used audio is from the Youtube audio library FB page: https://www.facebook.com/warthogdefense/
