OPERATION IRAQI FREEDOM Homecoming. Posted for those who think the Tomcat did not fly 'Combat Missions' or make history. This Tomcat is now on display in Lexington, KY, arriving there on 05 October 2005.
This Phantom was delivered as an F-4J, but was later upgraded to F-4S standard. The 157293 is credited by some with shooting down a MiG-21 on June 21, 1972 although the pilots claim they were flying another plane at that time.
