Just on a note; 54 are in active service with having two variants. One being RF-4E and the other one Israeli upgraded F-4 2020 Terminator. They support 239 F-16C/D CCIP/Block 50/50+ with reconnaissance and ground attack roles. They'll be phased out by 2015-2020 with the upcoming 100+16 F-35A/B orders. The first squadron to operate F35As will be 171th "Korsan" (Pirate) FİLO whom are currently flying with F-4 2020, they'll get the first two aircraft at 2015. Thank to God we'll get rid of them
Offtopic but, a direct leap from F-4 to F-35? Wouldn't it better, some F-16 squadron converts to F-35 and then convert F-4 squadron to F-16 and phase out F-4?
