In 1977 the U.S. and Egypt reached an agreement called "Peace Pharaoh" under which Egypt would be supplied with 35-36 F-4E Phantom IIs as well as AIM-7, AIM-9, AGM-65 missiles and Mk. 82 bombs. On October 14, 1979 the first aircraft arrived in Egypt at Cairo-West AB. These aircraft were ex-31st TFW F-4Es from Homestead Florida and were assigned to squadrons of the 222nd Tactical Fighter Brigade. In 1982 F-16s began to arrive and as a result the F-4Es primary mission was changed from air defense to ground attack. This F-4E is 66-0364/7801 C/N 2750 delivered to Egypt in 1980 and stationed at Al Quwwat al Jawwiya il Misriya, Cairo-West AB.

McDonnell Douglas F-4E Phantom II

Designed as a fleet defense fighter for the US Navy, the F-4 Phantom was first flown on May 27, 1958. This twin-engine, long-range all-weather fighter/bomber proved highly adaptable and served in the Marine Corps and the US Air Force as well as in the Navy. During the Vietnam War, it was the principal air superiority fighter for the Navy and the Air Force and was also used for reconnaissance and ground attack. The Phantom continued to serve well into the 1970s and 1980s and even flew missions during the first Gulf War. Finally phased out by the F-14, F-16 and F/A-18, the Phantom was retired in 1996.

Hobby Master's 1:72 scale F-4 Phantom II is highly detailed and very popular among collectors. This model has an intricately crafted fuselage, with rear and forward canopies that open to expose cockpit interior details such as instrument panel dials, control stick and ejector seat handles. The solid metal wing has raised wing-tips and a dog-toothed leading edge that blends seamlessly into the fuselage. Each release includes a full complement of removable ordnance. Variants in this series have notable differences in the nose and/or tail fin and slight variations in the engines' exhaust. Carrier-based variants have elevators with a raised leading edge, and land-based variants have standard leading edges.
