Best fighter during Vietnam
I knew this but did didn't know the ratio to loss rate. Too bad the F-8 was just plain worn out before the Vietnam war.
Thank to Robin Olds was sent to Vietnam for the Air Force. Using the strengths of the F-4, he changed their tactics and made a huge turn around in air to air combat. The Air Force also adopted gun pods on the center pylon and outer pylons, making them versatile. Col. Old's tactics and te-training of Air Force pilots, was a game changer.

IPMS Semex and Tri-Rivers contests have been cancelled
Sadly the Semex is not going to be rescheduled. Not sure about the Three Rivers Contest. It looks like the modeling community has caved into the Chicken Little syndrome. " The Sky is falling!"
