USCG F-4 Phantom

This is my April Fools Day 2016 joke released as a skin. It is a US Coast Guard F-4J Phantom, supposedly used for drug interdiction in the 1980s.

Nicely done

Good work!

Note that CoGard aircraft models begin with the letter "H" (e.g., a Lockheed C-130 is known as an HC-130).  And (you Phantom II stick-shaker historians may correct me here), by the 1980's, weren't all the F-4J's redesignated as F-4S models?  So, I think this could likely be an HF-4S in USCG parlance.

Rescue aircraft use the H modified mission letter. The reason most USCG aircraft use it is that they're rescue aircraft. Some of their helicopters use the M modified mission letter to denote their combined roles of rescue and law enforcement. This Phantom would be used purely as a fighter.

Before 1962, the designation for a USCG F-4B would have been F4H-1G.

No. Only if converted.
