			Out of stock

	HA1964 is McDonnell Douglas F-4N Phantom 11 CAG bird of VF-84 "Jolly Rogers", based on the carrier USS F.D. Roosevelt CVW-6. Very low production run of only 1,600 models, of which only a few were imported to the UK. The VF-84 operated between 1955 until 1995. The unit nickname was the “Jolly Rogers” and between 1970 and 1975 was assigned to CVA-42 USS Franklin D. Roosevelt of CVW-6 for 4 deployments. The USS FDR was originally launched as the USS Coral Sea. The final deployment of the F-4 on the USS FDR took place between January 3, 1975 and July 16,1975. VF-84 flew several variants of the F-4 Phantom II between 1964 and 1976 when they were replaced by the Grumman F-14 Tomcat. VF-84 received their F-4N’s in 1975. F-4N 150438 was sent to the Military Aircraft Storage and Disposition Centre (MASDC), now the 309th Aerospace Maintenance and Regeneration Group (AMARG) at Davis Monthan Air Force Base, Tucson, Arizona as 8F0112 on August 19, 1982. One of the most famous and easily recognized fighter aircraft of the post-WWII era was the McDonnell F-4 Phantom II. This aircraft was developed as a private venture by the aircraft company but was soon ordered by the USN as a carrier-based attack aircraft. Its first flight took place on May 27, 1958 and it entered active service in December 1960. It wasn’t long after the F-4B appeared that a fly-off was set up with USAF front-line fighters. It was no contest, the F-4 performed so well that the USAF ordered their own variant, the F-4C. As time went on, the F-4 evolved into well over a dozen variants.
