Because of growing tension between North and South Korea the South Korean government placed an initial order for 18 F-4Ds. The USAF filled this order with aircraft that were already in stock rather than building brand new aircraft. The first aircraft of the 18 ordered arrived at Taegu AB on August 29, 1969. F-4D 64-0935 was transferred to the RoKAF in August 1969 assigned to the 11th TFW, 110th TFS. RoKAF eventually received somewhere between 70 and 92 ex-USAF F-4Ds.
