With top speeds more than twice the speed of sound, the F-4 established 16 speed, altitude and time-to climb records. An all-around performer the F-4 Phantom II simultaneously server the USAF, USN, and the USMC, the first American aircraft to do so, whole also serving approximately 11 other countries.
