McDonnell Douglas produced 175 F-4F Phantom IIs for the West German Air Force with the maiden flight taking place on May 18, 1973. Deliveries of the F-4F began in September 1973 and lasted until April 1976. These aircraft were assigned to two interceptor wings, JG-71 "Richthofen" and JG-74 "Molders" and two ground attack wings, JBG-35 and JBG-36. In 1999 F-4F 37+86 was given a special paint scheme to celebrate the 40th Anniversary of JG-71 "Richthofen". The colors represent the red of Manfred von Richthofen and the tulip of Erich Hartmann.
