The F-4J/S Phantom II in the USN Reserve and USMC Reserve

    As with many of the F-4 pages, this one will be a work in progress for some time.  I will upload photos to begin with and then at a later time add comments.

VMFA-112 Cowboys

The Cowboys were the last combat Navy/Marine squadron to operate the F-4 Phantom II when the unit gave up the F-4S 18 January, 1992. The F-18A Hornet then became the mission aircraft, a role that continues to the present.
