Corgi 1/72 McDonnell F-4XC Phantom USAF 171st/191st FIG Michigan Air National Guard Selfridge ANGB (AA33211)
Ex-USAF F-4Cs first began to reach units of the Air National Guard in 1972. In addition, they served in the air defence role from 1978 onwards with seven ANG fighter interceptor squadrons and with an air defence training squadron. Most of the ANG's F-4Cs were replaced by later-model F-4Ds and Es (as well as by F-15s and F-16s) during the mid- to late- 1980s. The 171st Fighter Interceptor Squadron received their F-4C's in 1978 being the first ANG unit to transition from F-106 Delta Darts. The squadron went on to operate F-4D's and then in 1990 re-equipped with F-16A Fighting Falcons, which it flies today. The last ANG squadron to fly the F-4C, the 123rd FIS of the Oregon ANG, exchanged its F-4Cs for F-15As in the spring of 1989. As they left ANG service, the F-4Cs were retired to the boneyards at Davis-Monthan AFB or were converted into target drones. None remain in service with any ANG units today.
