And almost immediately began to beat the world records, ascents and reaching the ceiling. The plane first took part in the fight in the Vietnam War, composed of U.S. Navy and USAF. Aircraft proved their value during battles with smaller and more maneuverable Soviet MiGs. F-4 fighters service in the US nearly 40 years and were withdrawn in 1996. Even in the farthest world, they were even at the beginning of the 21st century. Phantoms proved to be extremely versatile and reliable machines. In his career, they were used as hunting fighters, fleet defense aircraft, bombers and assault aircraft.
