F-4 Phantom II aircraft - photo wallpapers; Megawallpapers: The McDonnell Douglas F-4 Phantom II is a two-place (tandem), supersonic, long-range, all-weather fighter-bomber. An unmistakable icon of the Cold War and the first modern air superiority fighter, the Phantom entered service with US military in the early 1960s and remains on active duty in several countries to this day. Amazingly flexible, the Phantom easily expanded its original air defense role to include tactical reconnaissance and ground attack with conventional and nuclear munitions. Either devoutly loved or passionately hated by those who flew it and worked on it, the Phantom gathered a number of nicknames during its illustrious career. It was the "Rhino" because of the long nose and tough titanium construction, the "Double Ugly" and "DUFF" in reference to its dihedral wings and anhedral tail as well as its two crew members, the "World's Leading Distributor of MiG Parts" in tribute to its record of downing 277 MiG aircraft in US service and additional 116 with Israel, the "Flying Anvil", the "Big Iron Sled", the "Louisville Slugger", but most of all the "Phabulous Phantom."
