Yup. At least the f-4 was a good aircraft, as you said.

As someone posted, the F-35 is the 21st century answer to the F-111.

Late to the show but the F-4 was the biggest smoker on the planet.

It was a flying brick that my Red Flag spotted long before arrival.

ZSU-23-4 operations.

I first heard about the F-35 in 1988 or 1989 at a convention, the speaker was the project manager, might have been this pilot. That was >27 years ago - the F35 is a two century fighter.
