The F-4E variant was an improved version of the C/D with an elongated nose and compact
radar. These two things made it possible to install a 20mm M61A1 6 barrel 640 round Vulcan
gun pod in the nose. The F-4E was the most produced variant with 1387 aircraft being made
over its 12 year production period. The “E” also equipped more air forces than any other variant
of the Phantom II.
In mid-1968 the 388th TFW stationed at Korat, RTAFB transitioned from the Republic F-105
Thunderchief to the McDonnell Douglas F-4E. F-4E 67-0309 wears a red star on the engine
splitter signifying a MiG kill but it was never a confirmed victory since there was a ceasefire in
place. From the 469th TFS/388th TFW the aircraft moved to the 15th TFW and then on to the
94th TFS/1st TFW. Eventually after a complete of other moves the aircraft was sold to the
Egyptian AF in 1980 as 7828.
