I'm 9001% phantom phanatic, but I'd say the Mud Hen is as capable.

>>29333656
I thought the frame was proof that anything can fly if you put strong enough engines on it?

>>29333656

Many did. Exacly what did the F-4 do that others didnt.

My dad fixed electronics in F-4s in Spain and Germany. Lucky bastard

The U.S armed forces are just a lot bigger than any other force and has therefore inherrently more roles to fill. Naturally a U.S plane would then be pushed into many different roles. Many other planes could probably have been adapted to those roles of there was a need for it. That beeing said I agree that the F-4 was a great plane.

Other than that I agree with
