Heh i never found the F4 to be that ugly :D

One of my fave aircraft actually, though it *is* definitely from the school of "brute force and ignorance" type flight. Pretty sure it's kill ratio improved with the top gun stuff when pilots learned to fly the energy fight with it rather than try and make it turn :D

Back in it's day, it actually held a few time to climb and speed records for a while if i remember properly?
