Sure does, and that's a mean shot of the MiG
Americans claimed F-4 pilots were credited with a total of 150 MiG kills at the cost of 42 Phantoms in air combat. Vietnam People's Air Force (VPAF) claimed 103 F-4 Phantoms were shot down by MiG-21s at a cost of 54 MiG-21s downed by F-4s
That'll be about 1:1, then B-)

Thanks for looking....the Phantom shot wasn't the one I meant to show you, but thanks anyway.
The MiG is JK's work...apologies for not mentioning that.

What's not to like about an F-4.... it's a beautiful aircraft.
Those are all superb shots, my picks would be the F-4, the first MiG-21 and the Herk cockpit view.

Well, if you draw a comparison with Vietnam... it was ‘David versus Goliath’. The Vietnamese Air Force never had more than 100 aircraft during the war, and of those, there were rarely more than 30 MiG 21s. The rest were MiG 17s or Chinese replicas and other aircraft up to the An 2.
