The F4 was so maneuverable and could turn so tightly that the inside jet engine could “flame out” due to starvation during a turn. My uncle, a laminar air-flow specialist at McDonnel Douglass in St Louis, helped design the doors at the air inlets to solve that problem.
The F4 Phantom was one of the most versatile platforms ever to take to the air.
