I’ve heard the 60 year old F4s perform better than our new strike fighters.

The F-4 is an absolutely awesome airplane. Sad to see it go wherever it is.

F-15E is a strike fighter, as is the F-18. . .and no, the F-4 can’t beat those jets.
JSF. . . who knows. . .

Maybe, but they leave a smoke trail back to the factory where they were made; still visible after all these years.

Doubtful.
I had some training time in a F-4 Kurnass (no combat — I flew an F-16; this was to test certain products from Norden) and it is a great airframe, but its time has come.
I will note a very good friend of mine shot down a Mig-21 flying an F-4 E (I think E).
