Diecast Aircraft Information  Diecast Aircraft Information MetalWings Diecast Aircraft Reference by Dauntless Aviation
The F-4G Phantom II first flew December 6, 1975 and entered service as the replacement for the
F-105G. There was 116 F-4Es converted to the “G” variant which inherited most of the “E”
features plus numerous additions. The F-4G was the last Phantom II model in active USAF duty
when it was retired in 1995 ending over 30 years of service with the branch of the U.S. Military.
The F-4G was replaced by the newer F-16C Fighting Falcon equipped with HARM and HARM
targeting pods.

The 90th TFS began in 1917 as the 90th Aero Squadron. Between 1977 and 1991 the 90th TFS
flew F-4Gs based at Clark AFB, Philippines. On August 19, 1972 F-4G 69-0291 shot down a
MiG-21 over North Vietnam. In May 1991 they were reassigned to the 21st TFW at Elmendorf
AFB, Alaska with F-15E Eagles. In September 1991 the 90th TFS became the 90th FS. F-4G
69-0291 was delivered in 1970 and served with approximately 16 units until 1990 when it became
a gate guard at Osan AB, South Korea.
