I never liked the 'look' of the Phantom, even though it was designed with everything in mind:
-two pilots if need be
-big delta wings over the center hardpoints
-fully rotating elevators
-two redundant turbines in the fuselage. thirsty

I never considered it a "fighter".....rather as a fast "bomber".
(Migs could out-turn it)
Maybe it's because some jerkhole in DC decided to remove all guns, and give the pilots a couple of missiles which worked half the time.
