They thought that just shooving in jet engines and strapping on missiles would make a better airplane. They lost the actual skill of dogfighting when they moved out of the prop-crafts. The Vietnam era F-4s are the perfect example of what happened to fighter aircraft skills with the change to jet and missiles. There hasn't been any real fighter planes since the F4U Corsairs and the F8F Bearcat.-- F<X</blockquote>
