The F-4 Phantom II was one of the key aircraft during the Vietnam War. It entered combat operations in December 1964 with the 555th Tactical Fighter Squadron ("Triple Nickel"). Initially, both seats in the cockpit were occupied by pilots, but later the rear pilot was replaced by a weapons systems officer. The Phantom was a versatile aircraft, it served as a fighter, tactical bomber and reconnaissance aircraft. It participated in many clashes with MiG aircraft, including the famous Operation Bolo. Despite advanced technology and high firepower, the F-4 suffered heavy losses, both from enemy aircraft and ground-based anti-aircraft defenses. The aircraft could carry over 8,400 kg of armament, and subsequent versions were increasingly better equipped: from radars and guided missiles to the M61 Vulcan cannon in later versions.
