The Phantom II has been welcoming visitors from the south at the gates of Wittmund and on the Bundeswehr area since 2013. Stationed at a traffic light, motorists also have the opportunity to take a longer look. The airfield of the Luftwaffe's fighter squadron also belongs to Wittmund. This is how Wittmund came to this impressive exhibit.

The F-4F Phantom II Fighter Aircraft Memorial in Wittmund is located at the intersection of Isumser Straße/B210, in front of the "Richthofen" barracks on the outskirts of Wittmund. It is a decommissioned F-4F Phantom II that was erected on October 15, 2006.

The memorial is a popular destination for visitors and those interested in the history of the German Air Force and the F-4 Phantom. The F-4 Phantom was an important part of German air defense and was used by the Air Force from 1971 to 2011. Wittmund was one of the main bases of the Phantom Squadron.

The F-4F Phantom serving as the memorial bears the registration number 37+01 and was the first and last aircraft of this type to serve with the Air Force, according to VDI Nachrichten. It was preserved specifically for this purpose and placed at the entrance to the Richthofen Fighter Wing.
