🛫Join us as Joe Wilding helps us explore the history of the McDonnell-Douglas F-110A, popularly known as 'Spectre'- a designation never officially given to the aircraft. This aircraft became the legendary F-4 Phantom II. We examine how the lessons learned in the development of the F-101 Voodoo shaped what could be the perfect fighter aircraft. Many thanks to the Wings Over the Rockies Air and Space Museum for the access to their F-4 for this film.
