McDouglas F -4 Phantom II supersonic fighter was in Ostrava seven years ago, when there was Phantom II from German Air Force.

These machines formed a significant part of the American Air Force in the 60’s and 70’s and they were exported to many other counties. Phantom was originally designed for dogfihts and gaining air superiority. The aircraft was later used for the attacks on the ground targets and it’s version RF-4E for reconnaissance flights.
