This Could Be Your Only Chance To Buy A Flyable Phantom Fighter Jet
2018-03-21
[TheDrive] When it comes to warbirds, the F-4 Phantom is the most advanced American fighter ever owned privately. Just one exists, an F-4D, and it belongs to the Collins Foundation which flies it occasionally for air shows and other events. But another Phantom exists in private hands that could bring the number of civilian-flown Phantoms to two‐and it's for sale.

McDonnell Douglas F4H-1F Phantom Bu.145310‐just the 11th Phantom built and before the aircraft got its ultimate designation of F-4‐is being presented for sale by Platinum Fighters according to our friends over at Warbirdsnews.com. Supposedly the jet is the only privately owned Phantom that is capable of being restored to flying condition, of which roughly 85 percent of the work has already been done.
Hey Honey! Guess what I bought today..!

#3  Re #1: Correct I believe - only rockets. Israelis demanded cannon when they received their jets in '69. All this is just to the best of my knowledge.
