The F-4 Phantom was crap really.
Had no mounted cannons / guns, and fired the relatively new Sparrow missiles, that were tracked to targets with radar.
It looks cool as shit, but a lot of pilots back then, didn’t really like them much.
The creator of this pic skipped a worthwhile generation – North American’s F-86 Sabre. USAF service in 1949, almost 10,000 built. Fought MiG-15s over Korea with 6x.50 cal MGs or 4x20mm cannon.
i dunno the F-22 takes a big hit when it comes to range.

A great image; too bad Obama canceled further F-22 production off at 187 airplanes, hundreds less than the Air Force had approval to buy.
The F-22 has been plagued with problems. Definitely worth canceling.
The DOD wasn’t that interested in buying them either.
While I get hard at the thought of swarms of cutting-edge jets in our arsenal…in this economy, not so much.
Fail.
The British Hurricane took down many more Germans than the Mustang.
Americans dumped your Tea and made your Colony into their own country.
Canadians told you to meet us for a fight and then went around you and burned down the white house. Now you guys live in White House Jr.
Europeans getting their butt kicked in WW2. Americans stepped in and won the war.
I don’t know what your talking about gook, you got nuked
magnus, the Natives Loyal to the Queen did that…
Canadians still acknowledge the Queen and haven’t brought the Stanley Cup back to Canada in how long? 🙂
They had a bit of a head start.
