US Navy Bureau No 145315.
In all my travels this is the first early variant F-4A that I have seen. She was the sixteenth of over 5,000 Phantoms built and wears the markings of VMFA-542 “Tigers”.
She is on display on the flight deck of USS Lexington, a preserved Essex class carrier.
Corpus Christi Bay, Corpus Christi, Texas, United States.
