Did the wings fold on the F-4E, as they did on Naval F-4s ?

Yes. The C and D model wingfolds were identical to USN craft. The hydraulic actuators were removed on the F-4E/G - but they could be manually folded. One AF crew of the 57th Fighter Interceptor Squadron, Keflavik, Iceland even proved that you can LAND that way ! ( Two NAVY crews bailed out when this sort of thing was encountered - though they would have had a tougher time landing on a ship. )
