McDonnell F-4A Phantom II in the NASA Flight Research Center hangar undergoing maintenance inspection in preparation for a flight. Notice the large inlet on the right side of the fuselage, the tandem cockpit, and the wing tip folded in an upward position. The F-4A (Navy serial number 145313) arrived at the Flight Research Center (later redesignated the NASA Dryden Flight Research Center) on December 3, 1965. It was damaged by an in-flight explosion on July 25, 1967. Able to land despite the explosion, it was later returned to the Navy.1965NASA Photo / NASA photo › F-4A Project Description
