My dad flew the Rhino too. Love that thing!
I think that's a valid assessment. It turns like a an Aircraft Carrier too. My dad also calls it Lead Sled and Double Ugly sometimes.Rhino? I have a friend that called it a brick with two engines.
Wow, you learn something everyday on this forum...today's fighter aircraft have BVR capabilities far superior to those built in the 60s. My comment referring to a preference of the F-4 over current aircraft was in the context of its post mission survivability (AA, GA or DS), maybe that wasn't clear. IMHO the F-4 could sustain considerably more battle damage than today's fly by wire aircraft and still return its crew safely home.No doubt the F-4 was a great fighter in her day! However, the F-14 was far superior in every metric, including bombing with CCIP and later, Lantern. The Tomcat would stand zero chance of survival against todays F-35 or F-22! So jumping into the frey driving a Phantom in today's world would ensure a quick death never knowing you were even targeted.
