The Navy broke one of the golden rules: train like you plan to fight. The F-4 aircrew trained to perform intercepts which maximized the systems around which the Phantom was built, but most of the initial engagements with the French were classic dogfights. The aircrew consistently found themselves stuck in dogfights against highly maneuverable airplanes. This was very much driven by ROE stipulations, but sadly, it appeared that Navy leadership did not recognize the likelihood of being strapped with the same rules of engagement in a wartime scenario—such as Vietnam.

Je dois avoir une photo quelque part où deux SMB2 ont fait une passe à l'arrache sur le porte-avions US. La photo montre le pont de l'Enterprise dans le viseur du SMB2.
Je devais faire une peinture de cette "attaque" mais le client, ancien pilote à Orange n'a pas donné suite. Dommage.
