F4H-1F Phantom II # 145310-04 McDonnell F4H-1F Phantom II # 145310 was the 11th F4H-1F built and was used for weapons carriage testing and later as a bailed chase plane at the St. Louis plant. I took care of this aircraft along with #2, #9 and #18 as a young flight test engineer in 1963.

Thanks for the Phantom prototype photos.

Do you by chance have any images of a F-4 carrying 6 Sparrow missiles? They are hard to find.

In service, the F-4 seemed to carry a mix of 4 Sparrows and 4 Sidewinders or Falcons.
