Basically, how does the combat go?

How many angels can dance on the head of a pin? Likely no
different than how the Japanese Zero's did against F-14's
in the 1980 movie, "The Final Countdown," starring Kirk Douglas,
Martin Sheen, Katharine Ross, and the nuclear aircraft carrier
USS Nimitz.

The F-4 never even sees the enemy? It should see the enemy from
30 miles away unless someone jams them, and most F-18s don't
have jamming ability (I think).


Are we talking E-model -18s when you mention "modern?" If so, the reduced
RCS alone may preclude the early F-4 and its rudimentary radar from even
seeing the -18s, let alone locking them...

JMHO,
