SF2_USN_F-4B_J_MissileStatus_v1 1

Let me commend you for still working on updating these aircraft so many years after the original release. I don't recall my source(s), but from memory I seem to recall that aside from the original blocks of F-4Bs, no F-4 versions were actually wired to carry AIM-7s on the wing pylons. I am fairly certain the F-4J did not have that capability. I am pretty sure the F-4B lost that ability at some time in its life... maybe by the time it became the F-4N? I think the capability was lost when wiring and other things were changed to support later AIM-9 variants (different seeker cooling) and advanced air-to-ground stores. Photos of F-4s armed with 6 x AIM-7s are pretty rare.

Sparrow wing stations, could be the case, perhaps when the ac were modified with SEAM ...

I can always update :)

The first (iirc) two USN MiG kills in SEA were achieved with AIM-7 fired from wing stations, though. Rail launched, much better ignition reliability.

I am a huge fan of the AIM-7 and love the 6 missile loadout. I was disappointed to find that the USAF didn't retain that capability and the Navy notoriously found the AIM-9 to be the better weapon for their situation where the reliability was almost nil after any amount of captive flights given the hard landings.

Are you sure that the F-4J could fire AIM-7 from the wing stations ? In general, this mod is an excellent idea.

Yes. The May 1975 with last change Feb 1978 F-4J NATOPS has all the related info in the station charts.
