The F4 has since proved to be the U.S. Air Force's fastest, highest flying operational tactical fighter. Orginally a Navy aircraft, it has been modified to meet Air Force requirements. On April 6, 1965 the first two prototype Phantoms landed at Hill to mark the start of preparations for eventual depot maintenance work. Currently 20 to 30 Phantoms complete the Inspect and Repair As Necessary (IRAN) lines each month. The Phantom is a vital addition to the Air Force operations in SEA,.

By the 1950-6- 0 period its rate of growth reached 29.3 per cent. The national average was only 18. j f Almost three-fourth- s of Utah's population is concentrated in Utah's four northern counties. This broadened Hill's missile center. The Command now supports 82 military outfits in the foregoing 11 state area. A review of Utah's economic c limate and population back in 1940 shows that it depended basically on ag- -' Tjlturc and mining and their related processing industries for a good share of its employment and opportunities income. Impression years took their toll, leaving fewer jobs with lower buying power for employees. ( They account, however, for less than five per cent of the state's I total area. Davis County claimed f the prize with an increase of over 51 2 times in that period. 80 per cent I I )f jobs were non-agricultu- in these counties 85 per cent of Utah's manufacturing jobs were concentrated in the four counties. The population surge in the state with the advent of and continued presence of defense changed job requirements from agrarian. to unskilled and greater demands for people schooled and trained in computers, electronics, missiles, supersonic aircraft, ammunition, explosives, engineering and management.
