The two seat, twin engine, all weather long range supersonic fighter-bomber was first introduced to the world on December 30, 1960. She was initially developed for the U.S. Navy, but she proved to be highly adaptable and the U.S. Marine Corps and the U.S. Air Force also started using her. She was used frequently during the Vietnam War by all three of these groups. She played a huge role in U.S. Military air power throughout the 1970’s and 1980’s. One of her more famous squadrons were the VF-84 “Jolly Rogers” Ironically, there are several squadrons that have used the Jolly Roger name and the skull and crossbones insignia and tradition. The VF-84 squadron was the second squadron to dawn the Jolly Roger name. Before they were called the Jolly Rogers the VF-84 squadron went by the name of Vagabonds. It wasn’t until 1960 when the new commanding officer requested to carry the Jolly Rogers name and insignia. He request was approved on April 1, 1960. The F-4 was 62 feet long and 16 feet 6 inches tall with a wingspan of 38 feet 4.5 inches. Her empty weight was 30, 328 pounds and her loaded weight was 41,500 pounds. Her max speed was Mach 2.23 which is 1,472 miles per hour and she cruised at speeds of 585 miles per hour.
