This time of the year I usually ask the regular readers of this

with a newer engine. Always worthy of many fine comments.

This time a slight revision. You are recalled to active duty for
combat overseas. You will return with a version of the model you
formerly flew. But this time you can change one aspect only. Which
airframe and what would that be?

Keep in mind this could mean your F-4J against a MiG-29 or SU-30?
Avionics? Engine? FCS?

Brings new meaning to DACM. ;-

We end up with one old fart lead in his upgraded F-8J with an old
fart wingman in his upgraded F-4J [F-8J leads because he was
senior on retirement 40 years ago] taking on the a section of the
evil empire's MiG-29s. I love it. ;-

[I'd prolly still bet on the F-8J/F-4J, but I'd want some good
odds to take that side of the bet. Particularly since by the
rules, you've limited them to one change only.]
