Description
MCDONNELL F4H-1 PHANTOM II BUNO being restored at the Wings and Rotors Air Museum in Murrieta, California at French Valley Airport.
This Phantom F4 (145310) was delivered to the Navy in August 1959 and was the 11th pre-production Phantom to be built. It was used in different tests to include weapons trials, carrier work, and some “Sageburner” trials. One of its more memorable performances was demonstrating its bombing capability. On April 22nd, 1961, it carried twenty-two 500 pound MK 83 live bombs and dropped them at Fort Bragg, North Carolina. Observing that day was President John F. Kennedy. It was this demonstration that later sold the Phantom to the U.S. Air Force, filling its need for a hefty fighter-bomber.
