While half ago about time the GEA had disclosed its intention to withdraw from active service in RF-4E by the end of 2014 or early 2015,
almost parallel with the withdrawal of old statesman also A-7E Corsair II, today is Given the extension of the operational life of photographic Phantom least until 2018.

And when we use the word 'minimum' we mean that if you do not find a replacement of the RF-4E not only on the length of missions strategic photographic identification with the two available photomechanical KS-127 but the regular, the aircraft will remain in service until 2020.
