It’s still the finest airplane ever built.

Arguably. Some would advocate for the SR-71 or DC-3.

No argument that it's a close rate!

To: null and void

Lots of airplanes could make that claim.

The F-15 has the best combat record of any fighter. The B-52, even longer lived than the C-130. Maybe the P-51, tho I was surprised to read that a test pilot who had flown both the P-51 and the ME-109 said the Messerschmidt was the better fighter.
