The McDonnell Douglas F-4 Phantom II in Chesley "Sully" Sullenberger's flashback is a QF-4E of the U.S. Air Force 82nd Aerial Targets Squadron. The number AF-349 can still be seen on the air conditioning intake above the nose wheel after landing. This aircraft became the last F-4 in U.S. service, retiring on December 21, 2016. The tail code NA 68547 is imaginary, but resembles the tail codes at the time Sully was posted to Nellis Air Force Base.
