I saw this on the Combat Aircraft Magazine site:

January 4, changeover ceremony of contingents deployed on the NATO Baltic Air Policing mission in the Å iauliai Air Base will be held.

Germany’s Air Contingent will replace air assets and personnel of Denmark after four months on guard of the Baltic skies, the incoming contingent will patrol the airspace with six single-seated F-4 Phantom fighters. The ceremony will be attended by Lithuanian, German, Estonian, and Lithuanian military delegates as well as representatives of the city and district of Šiauliai.


There are "single seat" Phantoms now??????????????????
