HISTORY ASPECTS -
The F-4D Phantom II "MiG Killer" 66-7463 was a distinguished combat aircraft flown by the 465th Tactical Squadron, part of the 432nd Tactical Reconnaissance Wing based at Udorn Royal Thai Air Force Base during the Vietnam . As one of the most versatile and powerful s of its time, the F-4D played a vital role in air superiority missions, ground , and close air support throughout Southeast Asia. Aircraft 66-7463 gained notoriety for its role in aerial combat, particularly for achieving confirmed kills against North Vietnamese MiG s.
In October 1972, the Phantom II 66-7463 was flown in intense combat conditions during the final months of U.S. involvement in Vietnam. Pilots flying this aircraft, often paired with s systems officers (WSOs), engaged in dogfights against North Vietnamese MiG-21s and MiG-17s. Using a combination of AIM-7 Sparrow and AIM-9 Sidewinder missiles, the Phantom’s crews maintained air dominance over contested skies. The aircraft's powerful radar and two-man crew design gave it a technological edge in many of these encounters, and 66-7463 secured its place in history by scoring air-to-air victories.
Beyond its MiG-killing fame, this Phantom contributed significantly to missions such as Combat Air Patrol (CAP), escorting strike packages, and suppressing enemy air defenses. Its ruggedness and adaptability made it a cornerstone of U.S. aerial power in the region. The F-4D was eventually replaced by more modern platforms, but aircraft like 66-7463 became symbols of tactical air superiority and Cold -era U.S. air strategy.
