66-8790 flew with the 25 TFS “Assam Dragon” from Ubon RTAFB early in their SEA deployment and later moved to Udorn RTAFB. They were early users of the, then, new F-4D and one of three squadrons in the Vietnam conflict equipped with the AN/ARN-92 LORAN-D navigation system… easily identified by the dorsal “towel rail.”
These jet were updated under the PAVE Phantom program. 66-8970 is shown ready for a strike mission carrying six Mk 82 LDGP bombs each fitted with ‘Daisy Cutter” fuse extenders designed to increase the fragmentation patter by detonating the bomb three feet above the surface. She additionally carries a pair of AIM-7E missiles in the aft fuselage stations, a pair of 370 Gallon external wing tanks on the outboard wing pylons, and an AN/ALQ-101 pod in a forward fuselage station.
