F-4 Phantom II Fighter-Bomber

 

Hi or Hi again.  This is my free coloring pages blog. 

I draw coloring pages and post them here.

There are no ads and it is free to print coloring pages for kids or adults to color.

F-4 Phantom II

The F-4 Phantom II is a jet fighter AND a bomber.  It was very fast, inf fact it could go Mach 2.2.  That is almost 1,700 mph.  or over 2,700 kph.  It could carry a load of 18,000 lbs of bombs or 8,165 kg. 

The Phantom first saw service in 1961 - the year I was born.  It was designed for the US Navy but soon the Marine Corps and Air Force began flying them too.  It saw a lot of combat in Viet Nam.  At first it was built without a cannon or machine gun.  But that changed when it became incapable of fighting after it shot off all of its missiles.  So the powers that be installed the M-61 Vulcan Rotary Cannon.  

Since it's name is the Phantom II... I decided to draw a ghost or phantom in the drawing.  .   

It has been replaced in the US Air Force by the F-15 and F-16.  It was replaced in the US Navy by the F-14 and the F-18.  

A few countries still fly the F-4 Phantom.
