Defender Of The West: Episode 2

The Phantom's might was spread far beyond the walls of the Western world, being the ultimate measure of peace in the Asian region. Most Korean pilots attribute the arrival of the Phantom to being one of the many reasons North Korea hadn't dared to fight them, so they kept this legendary aircraft in service all the way up until June 7, 2024. Japan also had its own fleet of Phantoms, license-built F-4EJs from the Mitsubishi company with a later modernization package coming in the late 80s to F-4EJ Kai where they flew in service with the JASDF until 2019. A specialized air wing known as the Air Division Test Wing (ADTW) kept their Phantoms for another 2 years, seeing them retired in 2021. Australia, while not officially an operator of the Phantom, had a small fleet of F-4Es on lease until the arrival of the F-111C, but all of them would be returned to the United States where a majority would become F-4G Wild Weasels that fought in Operation Desert Storm. Overall, the Phantom has been a staple in the defense of the Pacific regions, seeing decades of service and protecting the Phree World.
