NOTE:    This F-4 Phantom is the "CAG" aircraft (Grissom & Fearless). However, this is the aircraft flown by Cunningham & Driscoll on the historic mission in which they shot down "3" Mig-17's (the third Mig shot down was flown by the North Vietnamese Ace Col. Toon who had 17 kills before being shot down by Cunningham & Driscoll),  and then were subsequently shot down coasting in by a "SAM" missile! Both Lt. Cunningham and Lt. Driscoll ejected and were then safely rescued!
