Over 5,000 planes type McDonnell F-4 Phantom II were manufactured from
1958 until 1979. The F-4J “Showtime 100“ gained special fame for its
role in one of the most spectacular combat missions of the Vietnam War.
On May 10, 1972, the pilot Randy Cunningham took off with his Radar
Intercept Officer Willi “Irish” Dirscoll, with this Phantom in the
special livery “Showtime 100” to bomb a north-Vietnamese railroad
embankment. They indeed managed to shoot down three North-Vietnamese
MiG-17 fighters but on their way back to the aircraft carrier USS
Constellation, they themselves became victims of an attack. The pilots
were able to rescue themselves but the airplane, an F-4J ACE with the
registration 155800 flew less than one day in that special livery.
