F-4D Phantom II

Just as a note, Phantom serials in the 66-7xxx and 66-8xxx overlapped. With the 7 or 8 rarely on the tail, it is possible that I have some of the wrong aircraft shown in the images. If anyone can straighten me out on those and has proof that I've the wrong plane in there, I'd appreciate it.

For the record, 66-7463 is the champ US Mig-Killer with 6 kills. No other US aircraft since Korea has more than 3. It is currently at the USAF Academy sitting out in the elements instead of in some nice museum somewhere. It is painted in 555TFS markings.
