EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the sleek and powerful McDonnell Douglas F-4C Phantom II C.12-40 (msn 1320) of the Spanish Air Force's Esc 122 / Ala 12, as it graced the skies above RAF Greenham Common during the International Air Tattoo on 23 June 1979. The Spanish Air Force, or Ejercito del Aire, proudly showcased this Phantom II, a versatile and iconic jet fighter, which had been in service since the late 1960s. With its distinctive twin-engine configuration and distinctive shape, the Phantom II was a formidable presence in the skies, and this particular aircraft, adorned with the markings of Esc 122 / Ala 12, was a testament to the Spanish Air Force's commitment to maintaining a top-tier military aviation capability. The International Air Tattoo, an annual air show held in the United Kingdom, provided a platform for military and civilian aviation enthusiasts to come together and marvel at the latest aircraft and aerial displays. This photograph, taken from The Peter Butt Aviation Collection, offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the McDonnell Douglas F-4C Phantom II C.12-40 as it soared through the English skies, leaving behind a trail of history and awe-inspiring aviation innovation.
