The Republic of Korea Air Force (ROKAF) recently bid farewell to its last F-4E Phantom jets in a spectacular flyover of South Korea. The F-4E Phantom jets, which have been in service since the 1970s, were retired from the ROKAF after more than 40 years of service.

The F-4E Phantom jets were first introduced to the ROKAF in 1977 and were used for air-to-air combat, reconnaissance, and ground attack missions. The jets were a major part of the ROKAF’s defense capabilities and played a key role in protecting South Korea from potential threats.

The ROKAF held a special ceremony to mark the retirement of the F-4E Phantom jets, which included a flyover of South Korea. The flyover was captured on video and showed the jets flying in formation over various landmarks in South Korea. The video was shared widely on social media and was viewed by millions of people around the world.

The retirement of the F-4E Phantom jets marks the end of an era for the ROKAF. The jets have served the ROKAF faithfully for more than 40 years and will be remembered for their service and dedication. The ROKAF is now transitioning to newer, more advanced aircraft such as the F-35A Lightning II and the F-15K Slam Eagle.

The retirement of the F-4E Phantom jets is a bittersweet moment for many South Koreans. The jets have been a part of the country’s defense capabilities for decades and will be missed by many. However, the retirement of the jets also marks a new era for the ROKAF, as they transition to more advanced aircraft that will help protect South Korea from potential threats.
