Blast from the past. Showtime 100...Cunningham & Driscoll vs N. Vietnamese Air Defense Complex (Fighters and Surface-To-Air Missiles)
Many point to the Congressman's conviction and jail sentence. I don't care. This guy had big brass, fury balls. Cunningham & Driscoll will always be pure studs to me.
Below is Showtime 100 the plane flown during this mission...
What I wonder is what would happen today. The F-4's requirements look eerily similar to the F-35's. Unfortunately the F-35 doesn't have the same advantages. Its single engined. It doesn't have a RIO to assist the pilot in fighting the airplane properly. Its slower. In the same scenario would a F-35 win the matchup and get its pilots "feet wet" so that they could be safely recovered?
