1989.08.19e30a1
The Vietnam War era jet fighter bomber built by McDonell, the F-4D 'Phantom II' is on display by the NDANG "Happy Hooligans". Saturday 8/19/1989, at the old Hector Airport terminal.
The F-4D airframe was basically the same as that of the F-4C. The AN/APQ-109 was an improved, more reliable "hybrid" version of the AN/APQ-100. The AN/AAA-4 IRST (pod under the nose) was deleted in most F-4D production, since it had proven useless in practice. Confusingly, late production F-4Ds were fitted with the fairing used for the AN/AAA-4, but it contained elements of an AN/APR-25/26 radar warning receiver (RWR), not an infrared sensor. -airvectors.net
