The '''F-4X Phantom II''' is an advanced [[F-4E Phantom II]] derivative proposed under the joint Israeli-American project ''Peace Jack''. It called for the development of an advanced F-4 housing the HIAC-1 reconnaissance camera for operations over Israel's neighboring Arab countries. The aircraft, fitted with dual 2500-gallon conformal water tanks for increased engine efficiency, would be able to break Mach 3 and be capable of cruising speeds around Mach 2.7, allowing Israel unhindered intelligence-gathering capabilities and would bring up a contender for the formidable [[SR-71 Blackbird]]. It was also because of these capabilities that there was talk of converting the aircraft into a new class of interceptor. As the situation would have it, the in-production development of the American [[F-15C Eagle]] and a perceived threat to the recce dominance of the [[SR-71]] would subsequently end the development of the F-4X, and project Peace Jack, by 1974.

  • 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]
