Indeed. The Phantom was to Vietnam what the Sabre was to Korea, to follow along the lines that G mentioned. And there is something about the F-4's lines that also keeps speaking to me, personally.

Heck, the one ship I used to love flying the most back when I had like most of the Janes combat flight sims, was their 'F-4 upgraded with modern electronics' models. about the only thing I think might be cooler would be if they'd upgraded the engines too. Just think what a phantom airframe might be capable of if they dropped in a couple of surplus f16 engines?
