    Credited with shooting down a North Vietnamese MiG-17. Benjamin Donnelly writes: This F-4C, 63-7647, has two MiG kill stars applied to its intake splitter plate, but it actually is only credited with one kill. The two kills were credited to the crew, then-Major Richard Pascoe and Captain Norman Wells. Pascoe and Wells scored two victories during the Vietnam War, one over a MiG-21 on 6 January 1967 (while flying F-4C 64-0839) and the second over a MiG-17 on 5 June 1967 (flying this aircraft). Pascoe and Wells both served with Colonel Robin Olds legendary 8th Tactical Fighter Wing (Wolfpack) based out of Ubon, Thailand; 63-7647 flew with the 8th from 1964 to 1967, but did not leave Vietnamese skies until 1971. It was the last F-4C to score a kill.
