"The Phantom II is nothing like the 104 and the F-5. It has none of the acceleration of the 104 nor the agility of the F-5. It's a real brute, and it'll let you know that. It doesn't like to do quick strikes like the 104 or box like the F-5. It hits hard and decisively, as a 20-ton of steel, titanium, and aluminum fist flying at twice the speed of sound ought to do."
-Maj. Mark Gibson, 152nd Fighter Squadron, Paternian Air Force.

Credit to ColonelStriker for the landing gear. The F-4 Phantom II is an American fighter aircraft which sees service in GoldenEagle's C&C RP in the Paternian Air Force. Designed as a Mach 2-capable all-weather interceptor for the US Navy, the F-4 was found to be an excellent aircraft, with 5,195 machines made, and service in 11 air forces. It would find itself serving not only as an interceptor, but as a fighter-bomber and aerial reconnaissance platform. In the Paternian Air Force, it would serve initially as a fighter-bomber, but would soon replace the F-104 and the F-5 as its primary fighter.
