** ONLY ONE LEFT! THIS ITEM IS NO LONGER IN PRODUCTION. **

In the 1970s South Korea felt a possible security risk from North Korea so they decided to acquire Northrop F-5Es and McDonnell Douglas F-4Es to bolster their defense capabilities as a deterrent to aggression. Ex-USAF F-Ds were procured in the late 1960s and in 1978 the first of the new built F-4Es began to arrive. F-4E 60-499 c/n 4972 was assigned to the 152nd / 17th FW at Cheongju. Around 2008 the RoKAF began to reduce its reliance on the Phantom and replacing them with the new F-35.
