History
The F-4 Phantom II jet was discovered in 1994, during a sonar search for a downed plane carrying over $100 million in bank receipts. Dave Miller, hired to locate the plane and its contents, discovered the F-4, the P-38 and other structures during his side scan. Identified as a USMC McDonnell RF-4B-24-MC Phantom II, BuNo 153090, of VMCJ-3 (MCAS El Toro), on a familiarization flight out of MCAS Yuma - lost 6 May 1966 in an aerobatic stall/spin off Del Mar, ruled a pilot-control/spin-recovery issue (Super Sabre Society records). As a two-seat reconnaissance variant, both crewmen aboard ejected, with only minor injuries reported.
