Japan has their new super phantoms. West German pilots were very proficient and won mock battles with it against the Mig29
new? New Super Phantoms?
Cool. Did they replace all the heavy metal with carbon fibre and stuff? Making it lighter would probably make it faster and more maneuverable
According to a Wiki entry....
IAI’s (Israel) F-4 “Super Phantom” or F-4-2000, which could exceed Mach 1 without afterburners, was displayed at the 1987 Paris Air Show.
McDonnell Douglas scuttled the F-4-2000’s development because it equaled the F/A-18C/D in performance and could endanger future F/A-18 sales.
