F-4F PHANTOM II 'JG72 Westfalen Special'

F-4F PHANTOM II:Simplified export for German Luftwaffe, based on the F-4E airframe, but with simplified AN/APQ-120 radar and lacking AIM-7 Sparrow armament and air to air refuelling capability. Measures taken to lighten the airframe were the deletion of the rear number-7 fuel tank, the mid-air refuelling receptacle (later restored), and the BLC system, cutting the weight of the F-4F by 1,500 kilograms (3,300 pounds) compared to the F-4E. Due to its lower weight the F-4F performance is somewhat better than the F-4E. Powered by MTU license built J79-MTU-17A turbojet engines. The first F-4F was delivered September 5, 1973, followed by 174 other airframes. The US based German Luftwaffe Phantoms were unofficially designated TF-4F and NTF-4F (development aircraft).
