McDonnell F4H-1F Phantom II # 145310 Photos

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.

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

I am also re-looking for the webpage showing a F4H-1F carrying 6 Sparrow missiles.

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

Postimg.org had a registry problem about a year ago and they had to move to Postimg.cc. All photos are still available; but, the "CC" must be subtituted for "ORG" in the corresponding URL address to get to the proper place. (Hold cursor over link to get URL address or change in address line.) Postimg.org becomes Postimg.cc. Also... any URLs with the prefix "old." need to have that removed completely as well. IE, old.postimg.org/ should be amended to postimg.cc Let me know if I need to fix any links beyond the dozens that I have already fixed.

About Me

My name is Ron Downey. I am a retired Aeronautical Engineer who worked for McDonnell Aircraft and McDonnell Douglas Corp for 40 years and collected many photos, info and brochures of their products. While the F-4 is my favorite, I have many other MDC items and these will be scanned and presented here. In addition, I have been an aviation historian for most of my adult life and I have amassed a large amount of info over my 50+ years of collecting and will be bringing that here also. My aim is to bring aviation material (Photos, articles; etc) to this blog before it is lost; but, not in-depth explanations as any good search engine can be used for that purpose. I may be contacted at: aviationarchives(at)gmail.com

As all of this info was originally for my use only in order to build plastic scale models, I never paid too much attention to copyrights or proper photo credits. Therefore, if something is not credited correctly, please let me know and I will be happy to delete or properly credit the material. (I have in my possession all the items and original material and these are all new scans, except where noted.) All photos and info are credited to McDonnell Douglas/The Boeing Company unless otherwise noted. Feel free to use any of this info with the credit of Ron Downey via Aviation Archives. I can be reached at: aviationarchives(at)gmail.com.
