RF-4C 68-0573 is seen at Udorn in 1969, wearing her ‘OZ’ tail code, indicating assignment to the 432nd TRW / 14th TRS. The recce-Phantom made its first flight on May 28, 1969, and was formally accepted into US Air Force inventory on July 3 the same year. Officially assigned to the 432nd TRW on July 11, it was then ferried to Thailand, arriving at Udorn a week later where the Phantom joined the 14th TRS. A long tour in combat with the squadron followed, with just one break in the action for a December 1970 to February 1971 deployment to the AIR ASIA depot at Tainan, Taiwan, for overhaul. The aircraft’s service sadly ended on January 20, 1972,
