No, I cant make that claim. The Tomcat had too many troubles, and never the money to fix them. It was fat and fragile. But when it was working, it was the most dangerous aircraft ever built. No airplane scared the Russians like the Tomcat did.

I remember as a kid reading how the F-4 was no match for the Soviets etc. & then feeling glee when it was reported that the F-14, F-15, F-16 got approved, went into production & succeeded.
