      F-4EJ Kai 17-8440, the last of 5,195 F-4 Phantom IIs ever made, made its final flight this Tuesday from Hyakuri Air Base to Hamamatsu Air Base, where it will be preserved at the JASDF museum there. A video of its arrival and other recent Phantom photo-ops can be found here

        Oh, man. Talk about the end of an era. Where will the world get its supply of MiG parts from now?

          Last one made, but not the last operated right? IIRC at least Turkey and South Korea are still flying them?

            @facw I think Iran still uses them, too. US production ended in 1979, but Mitsubishi continued to build them under license in Japan until 1981

              @ranwhenparked, Yep that sounds right, Iran's weird assemblage skipped my mind:
