Trivia

The Osean color of the F-4X (Hill Grey II paint scheme), if not the aircraft itself, was used in the reveal trailer of Ace Combat Zero: The Belkan War by the secondary members of the Silber Squadron.
During the development of Ace Combat 5: The Unsung War, the F-4X had the reporting name of "Super Phantom". An unused line of AWACS Thunderhead in the game's files would have led him to utter the name in the event of an F-4X kill - similar lines for other aircraft were recorded, but were unused in the final release.^[1]

-The '''F-4X Phantom II''' is an advanced [[F-4E Phantom II]] derivative proposed under the joint Israeli-American project ''Peace Jack'', which called for the development of an F-4 allowing Israel to conduct reconnaissance over its neighboring countries. Water injection was projected to give the aircraft a top speed in excess of Mach 3 (over 2,000 mph/3,200 km/h at high altitudes), and was rumored to become a new interceptor aircraft because of its capabilities. The water would be contained in a pair of 2,500 US gal (9,600 l) conformal tanks on the sides of the fuselage spine<ref>[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_McDonnell_Douglas_F-4_Phantom_II_variants List of McDonnell Douglas F-4 Phantom II variants, Proposals]</ref> (according to other sources water should be contained in a pair of conformal tanks of 300 US gal (1134 l) each). However, it was believed that the F-4X would become a potential competitive threat to the [[SR-71 Blackbird]], a fact that, combined with the development of the [[F-15C Eagle|F-15 Eagle]] eventually killed Project Peace Jack in 1974.

-The aircraft is one of the game's rarest AI-controlled fighters, appearing solely in mission #9, "Lit Fuse", when a single F-4X appears from the northeast during the Osean Army's siege on the [[Yuktobanian]] fortress. Said aircraft will respawn indefinitely once destroyed.

-The F-4X is the final aircraft of the [[F-4E Phantom II]] aircraft family, unlocked upon filling the [[F-4G Phantom II Wild Weasel]]'s [[Kill Bar]] (roughly 47,450 pts.) It is notable for being the most maneuverable aircraft of the Phantom family with a (rather acceptable) score of 52 points. As well, it is the Phantom variant most fit for air combat, with a score of 73. It comes equipped with [[XMAA]] missiles, allowing it to compete with most high-tier fighters, such as the [[F-22A Raptor]].
