F-4J Phantom 157293 was flown by Cmdr. Samuel Flynn and Lt. William John and is generally accepted as the aircraft they were flying when they shot down a North Vietnamese MiG-21 on June 21, 1972. According to Cmdr. Flynn they were flying F-4 157307 at the time and when he was assigned F-4 157293 the kill markings were transferred to that aircraft. F-4J 157307 is on display at the NASM-Dulles, while 157293 is on display at the Texas Air Museum, Slaton, TX.
The McDonnell Douglas F-4 Phantom is a two-seat, twin-engine supersonic jet fighter originally developed for the US Navy. Proving highly adaptable, it became a major part of the air wings of the US Navy, Marine Corps and Air Force. The F-4 Phantom was used extensively by all three of these services in the Vietnam War, serving as the principal fighter/bomber for the U.S. Navy and Air Force, as well as being important in the ground-attack and air reconnaissance roles.
