The F-4C is an American twin seater fighter-bomber/interceptor developed for the US Navy and then both the US Marines and US Air Force in mid 1960.

In the 70s an order was placed for 50 F-4Cs that were already used by the US . The buyers were a country which is an active member of the Union of Free Nations. This batch of F-4Cs were then modified, refitted better radars for multirole missions as well as new weaponry and engines.

The imposing F-4C Phantom II can seem a bit intimidating at first due to its size, but the pilot will quickly find that with the new dual J79-GE-17 engines that this fighter is no slouch. Going from takeoff, acceleration in a climb and to level flight the F-4C Phantom II will move and is quite agile for an aircraft of its size.

In a bomber role, the Phantom IIs would utilize dive bombing tactics or a low altitude bombing. Even with heavy ordnance loads, the Phantom II could still shimmy into position, release its ordnance and then rocket away to a higher altitude.

The F-4C Phantom II is, frankly, not a dogfighter. That is because its ungainly manoeuvrability and large size leave it heavily disadvantaged and an easy target should one catch it in weapons range. The F-4C's best friend is its good speed and powerful armaments.
