The older models are much faster, and more agile. I remember when the A-4s were going out, there were a lot of us who hoped to see Tomcats up there, which would have been the silliest thing in the world, but we wanted to see it anyway.
The Super's are the front line now, and nobody is going to use them for shows, when they are busy with operational duties.
Yeah, I know, but I want NOISE when the Blue's play their symphony. I am deaf from jet noise, I need that volume. Never saw the F-4 Angels work out. F-14 would have been a hoot.........a bitch for them though.
Good night, 2126 hours here in Hawaii................
