This wrecked but recognisable McDonnell Douglas F-4 Phantom was shot down during the Vietnam War, and now occupies pride of place – along with other American wreckage – outside the People’s Air Force Museum in Hanoi. The story of the mangled jet, build number 153001, was reported by our sibling site Storm Climb.

Cool pic – looks like the stars and bars have been repainted at some stage just so remember that it is American!

Agree with the repaint Tom. Looks like she was Navy. Would love to have seen the tail markings or sidemarkings with carrier name. I was on USS America in 72-73 and we lost a couple F4′s over Hanoi.

Urban Ghosts is a news and media site focussing on urbex, or urban exploration, which refers to the exploring of abandoned places and derelict buildings. In addition to urban art and documentation produced by urban explorers, such as urbex photos, Urban Ghosts also presents articles on the quirkier parts of our hidden cities – weird houses and strange industrial buildings, and the mainstream contemporary art that touches on issues related to urban exploring. Artists featured on Urban Ghosts have produced work about sustainability, exploration, decay and the way we interact with our built environment, and form an important part of urban explorer culture.
