One of the most famous and easily recognized
fighter aircraft of the post-WWII era was the McDonnell F-4 Phantom II. This
aircraft was developed as a private venture by the aircraft company but was
soon ordered by the USN as a carrier-based attack aircraft. Its first flight
took place on May 27, 1958 and it entered active service in December 1960. It
wasn’t long after the F-4B appeared that a fly-off was set up with USAF
front-line fighters. It was no contest, the F-4 performed so well that the USAF
ordered their own variant, the F-4C. As time went on, the F-4 evolved into well
over a dozen variants.
On February 1, 1943 the “Screaming Eagles” were established as VF-1 but then
became VF-5, then VF-5A and finally VF-51 on August 16, 1948. In 1971 VF-51
received the F-4B Phantom II and spent most of the 1970’s over Vietnam while
they were assigned to the USS Coral Sea. During this period the “Screaming
Eagles” shot down 4 MiG-17’s. VF-51 had several USN firsts, first squadron to
fly jet aircraft, first squadron to operate jets from a carrier. During the
Korean War they were the first squadron to fly jets into combat and first to
score air-to-air victories. On June 16, 1978 VF-51 transitioned from the F-4 to
the F-14A. In March 1995 VF-51 “Screaming Eagles” was decommissioned.
