Israeli F-4E 584 originally was serial U.S. 71-0234 with c/n 4222. On July 18, 1972 it was delivered to the IDF as 184 but when it was modernized to Kurnass 2000 standards it became aircraft 584. The black lettering on the side of the aircraft is 2000 Kurnass in Hebrew and the red tail signifies the 201st Squadron The One. Iftach Spector had 12 IDF victories, 8 in Mirage IIIs and at least one of his four F-4 victories in this particular aircraft.

 The F-4D was an improved C variant with most improvements being internal electronics and avionics. The F-4D entered operational service in April 1966 and joined the combat forces in Southeast Asia in May 1967. With the arrival of the D most of the C variant was reassigned to ground attack with the Ds taking on the air-to-air interceptor role. In 1968 - 1969 a total of 825 D models were produced 793 for the USAF and 32 for the Iranian Air Force.
