No, I doubt the F-4, F-15 could fly without a computer, but you’re right, almost all new aircraft need the assistance of computers.

On the F-4, as long as you had hydraulics, you could still fly them. Not much of anything since, however.

I didn't actually crew F-4’s, but I did train on them while qualifying to work on F-111’s.
