Phantom was introduced in the late 1960s. Amid the Korean Demilitarized Zone conflict in 1969, a 34-year-old lieutenant colonel, Jae-woo flew down the F-4D Phantom from the US to the Daegu base in a span of two days. Jae-woo was also a ROK Air Force pilot who had received flight training for the Phantom in the US in 1968.
Korean Air Force's modernization can be partly credited to the F-4 Phantom II. The Phantom remained the most powerful military aircraft from the 1960s to the early 1970s. It can function in all weather conditions while simultaneously participating in aerial combat and ground bombing. The upcoming documentary will give the viewers a better idea about how the Phantom has served the country and ensured its safety, while also honoring the journey of Lee Jae-woo and the aircraft.
