LOL, that’s okay. Glad I was the only one who jumped on you..;)
I loved the Phantom. Classic plane . Sure, it can handle more ordinance, so as a flying ordinance truck, that is about the only thing it might have an advantage, but it would get toasted in 100 out of 100 air superiority metrics.
If some gave ME a Phantom to fly, I wouldn’t throw it out bed for eating crackers in the rack!
“I loved the Phantom. Classic plane”
At a Marine Air Show when I was about 10 or 11 years old, a Marine pilot gave me my first lesson in aerodynamics by telling me “The Phantom is proof positive that if you put enough thrust behind it, you can make a brick fly”.
