Because of tension between North and South Korea the South Korean government placed an initial order for 18 F-4D Phantom IIs. The USAF filled this order with aircraft that were already in stock rather than building brand new aircraft. The first aircraft of the 18 ordered arrived at Taegu AB on August 29, 1969. F-4D #64-0935 was transferred to the RoKAF in August 1969 assigned to the 11th TFW, 110th TFS. RoKAF eventually received between 70 and 92 ex-USAF F-4Ds.

The McDonnell Douglas F-4 Phantom II is a two-seat twin-engine jet fighter originally developed for the U.S. Navy in the 1950s. Proven to be highly adaptable, it also became a major part of the air wings of the U.S. Marine Corps and U.S. Air Force. The Phantom was used extensively by all three of these services in the Vietnam War, serving as the principal fighter / bomber for the Navy and Air Force and in ground-attack and reconnaissance roles. The F-4 Phantom II was also sold to and operated by the armed forces of 11 other nations.

The F-4 Phantom entered service in 1960 and continued to form a major part of U.S. military air power throughout the 1970s and 1980s, being gradually replaced by more modern aircraft such as the F-15 and F-16 in the U.S Air Force; the F-14 and F/A-18 in the U.S. Navy and the F/A-18 in the U.S Marine Corps. The F-4 was used in the reconnaissance and Wild Weasel roles in the 1991 Gulf War, finally leaving service in 1996. It was produced from 1958 to 1981 with a total of 5,195 built in several variants.
