F-4 Phantom II (Tail Code 'LF', No. 674) on Wet Ramp, Luke AFB-Associated Unit

An F-4 Phantom II, marked with the 'LF' tail code associated with Luke Air Force Base, Arizona, sits on a rain-soaked ramp with canopies raised. The Phantom, a twin-engine, two-seat fighter-bomber, served as a backbone of U.S. air power during the Vietnam War and continued in training and frontline roles into the 1980s. This aircraft wears the disruptive Southeast Asia camouflage pattern developed to reduce visibility against jungle terrain. Project: 219603
