Certainly it's better to shoot them in the lips from miles away. BRBR


BUT if you find yourself in amongst them, you better have the skill to survive
and win. Many after getting into the F-4 thought closein fighting was dead and
they became dead. In a multi bogey envirnment, with so many A/C looking
similar, with a VID requirement, you are going to go to the merge.

Sure you don't pull your pants down and grovel, but you had better have the
skills to visually fight your enemy.
