Rhino. Double Ugly. Recce-Rhino. Phantom! The McDonnell Douglas F-4 Phantom was the do-everything airplane for the U. S. Air Force, the U. S. Navy, the U. S. Marine Corps, and air force and naval forces world wide. Air superiority, fleet defense, bombing, and reconnaissance... it was very good at almost everything. The Phantom could do it all! My design features my rendering of the McDonnell Douglas RF-4C. They began with performing tactical reconnaissance missions over the battlefields of Vietnam in the 1960s, and finished up in the 1990s with Operation Desert Storm/Shield. The best tactical photo-recon airplane ever! 1047 here flew the most RF-4C recon missions of the Gulf War. She was nicknamed "The Iraqi Scud Seeker."

In October 2003, Patrol and Reconnaissance Wing TWO was established at Marine Corps Air Station Kaneohe Bay to assume control over the former Patrol Wing TWO squadrons which had been moved there from Naval Air Station Barbers Point when that Air Station was closed and Patrol Wing TWO was disestablished in 1993. Those squadrons were VP-4, VP-9, VP-47, and VPU-2. Though the new wing assumed the disestablished Patrol Wing TWO's insignia and traditions in honor of the distinguished history of that wing it was a new wing, not a redesignation of Patrol Wing TWO. Patrol and Reconnaissance Wing TWO was disestablished effective 1 May 2017 and its squadrons were all realigned under Patrol and Reconnaissance Wing TEN
