How come no one else ever built an airframe as capable as the F-4?

>>29333656

they did it,twice they called them Hornet and Super Hornet

everything is cool as long you don't put pylons and weapons into them,or show them a Mig-17 picture

>>29333656
I'm 9001% phantom phanatic, but I'd say the Mud Hen is as capable.

>>29333656
I thought the frame was proof that anything can fly if you put strong enough engines on it?

>>29333656

Many did. Exacly what did the F-4 do that others didnt.

My dad fixed electronics in F-4s in Spain and Germany. Lucky bastard

>Many did.

Name one airframe from it's time period that was as versatile.

The real question is, How come no one else has ever built an airframe as aesthetic as the F-4?

The U.S armed forces are just a lot bigger than any other force and has therefore inherrently more roles to fill. Naturally a U.S plane would then be pushed into many different roles. Many other planes could probably have been adapted to those roles of there was a need for it. That beeing said I agree that the F-4 was a great plane.

Other than that I agree with

Mirage III is indeed a good example.

UNDEFEATED
SPAWNED THE F-15E TOO

Is the SR-71 still the fastest plane or has it been surpassed?
