F-4N Phantom II, Military aircraft monument at the Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum in Manhattan, United States.
The F-4N Phantom II on display is a twin-engine supersonic fighter jet featuring swept wings, twin vertical stabilizers, and characteristic naval carrier markings from its operational service period.
This aircraft variant served with the United States Navy from the 1960s through the 1980s, participating extensively in Vietnam War operations as a fighter-bomber and interceptor before retirement.
The preserved aircraft represents Cold War military aviation technology and honors the naval aviators who operated these jets during decades of service defending American strategic interests globally.
Visitors to the Intrepid Museum can view this aircraft up close on the flight deck, learning about its technical specifications, weapons systems, and operational history through interpretive displays.
The F-4N could reach speeds exceeding Mach 2.2, approximately 1,450 miles per hour (2,335 kilometers per hour), making it one of the fastest carrier-based fighter jets of its era.
