Adressing the vietnam war...I don't think much of the Thud. I think it might be the 17. Oh, wait, it might be the 'Farmer' one...the Phantom II is a WORKHORSE. Not something like the Eagle.

[Cobra2]

Yeah. And about the F-105 Thunderchief or 'Thud' I, like Raptor, dont think much of it...bombing, maybe but the fact that MiG-21s could come up and rip them apart...
And the Operation 'Bolo' where a flight leader lead a flight of F-4 Phantoms to act as F-105s and intercept and shoot down some MiG-21s and half of which were destroyed that day at a cost of 0 F-4s...it is spelled 'Bolo' right?

[Raptor]

I totally agree. Phantoms... They're Ok, but don't have a very good track record as being a nice sleek manueverable fighter...Just good speed.

I don't know about the 'Bolo', one, though...

[Cobra2]

I like the F-4...they should have equiped it with a Vulcan though.

[Globetrotter]

I agree with you,Cobra 2, and the cannon, as I see it, shouldn't be under the radar (as in E, F, G versions) I prefer the short-nosed versions (B, C, D, J, N, S) don't know about you

[Cobra2]

Same here, I prefer the short nosed version also.

[Raptor]

I think the F-4 was Ok-succesful, but i agree. Though i like the Wild Weasel F-4Gs better...

[Cobra2]

I like the F-4G Wild Weasel too. What a nerve racking job to fly SEAD missions 

[Raptor]

Lol. By the way, have they replaced the F-4Gs yet? Last i heard was the F-16 was being tested...

[Cobra2]

We (the U.S.) have probably already replaced them decades ago didnt we?

[Raptor]

Oh, yeah. I think the EF-111s are doing basically the same thing now...

[Gripen]

EF is the electronic warfare version right?
