I have some F-4 manuals at home.....I was on the Program at McDonnell Aircraft during the last years of production. Then over to the AV-8B and then Flight Test.
The production line when 4 aircraft were on the lines was quite impressive.

The word in the F-4 engineering department was that we could re-engine the F-4 and with a couple tweeks it could easily out perform the F-15. Of course upper management didn't want to hear that when such a mod was quite cheap compared to a new F-15.

Yes memories...watching a Harrier hover outside your office window. :boohoo

My uncle worked for, what was then McDonell Douglas. He is (or was before he retired) a jet propulsion engineer, and helped design the jets for the F-15. He took me on a tour of the St. Louis plant back in '80, where I got to see them assembling the planes and test flying the brand new ones.
