F-4 Phantom, easily.
The A-10, while a great CAS aircraft, certainly won't win any beauty contests, and is a very basic aircraft.
Phantom,on the other hand,has everything going for it, countries that operated it, and schemes.
Much harder to do though, as am sure Matthew will confirm.

Re: What Would you all rather See ?
Very tough call. I really prefer them both equally. Speaking of the F-4 does Admiral Toys ever plan on doing anything further with their prototype? Its practically a complete working model. I believe the landing gears were fixed but who cares at this point. Just sign, seal, deliver.

Re: What Would you all rather See ?
Us older guys will have a greater appreciation for the F-4. I grew up with the F-4 as the butt kicking MiG killer in Vietnam. Has there been another plane used as a frontline fighter in the Navy, Air Force and Marines? Closest I can think is the F-86/Fury series.
The A-10 is legendary in its role but the F-4 is legendary in air-to-air combat as well as ground attack and has done so as stated world-wide.
What a complex project that would be. Would think an F-105 would be less challenging. Cleaner, simpler lines.

What makes the P-51 Mustang so special?

Re: What Would you all rather See ?
I'd love to have a Vietnam era Marine Corps Phantom. I think you could get your monies worth out of an F-4 with all the variants and operators.

I've looked at that other site a few times. Seems they are more younger guys into more modern stuff.pickelhaube wrote:
