Lead Sled

<p>I was born to fight - shaped from steel ignited by fire and driven by purpose.</p><p>From the skies above Vietnam to the training grounds of Oregon I brought warriors into battle and safely returned them home. I achieved my victories in missile trails and red stars painted on my frame - evidence of a Phantom's courage and the expertise of those who flew and maintained me.</p><p></p><p>Now I stand in solemn honor at the Evergreen Aviation & Space Museum - a guardian of history a symbol of American airpower and a voice from a time when the sky belonged to those bold enough to claim it.</p><p>I am 63-7647.</p><p>I am Phantom.</p><p>My legacy lives on.</p>
