I seem to recall a F4 pilot shot down during Vietnam said that with the engines out it had the flying characteristics of a brick.

That is why you didn't spend time practicing flying an F-4 without engines. But it looked like a war plane, not a toy! Internet picture since some mover decided all of mine actually belonged to him...

Probably like the old A-7 - dubbed the flying rock...lose engines and pray for a safe ejection.
