DescriptionPhantom in Blue: Blue Angels F-4J

The F-4J Phantom served as the backbone for the US Navy�s fighter arm during the decade of the 1970s. The Blue Angels flew them until the gas crisis caused the Navy to replace them with the smaller A-4, to save money.

The Blue Angels US Navy Flight Demonstraton team executes one of their precision manoeuvres at an airshow, circa the 1972 season. Solo Number 6 was flown by Skip Umstead.
