TOP 10 Squadrons Colors! - US Navy F-4 Phantoms - Vietnam War Era - United States Navy Aviation

I decided to make a top 10 list of my personal favorite paint schemes used by US Navy Phantom Squadrons. This was a hard decision process. I didn't anticipate having such a difficult time deciding on the order! The guys who painted these jets deserve a lot of credit in creating some of the most noticeable and iconic paint jobs in military aviation.

These squadrons all saw action in Southeast Asia during the Vietnam conflict.
