Well let's see......

If we accept that the Phantom ever carried a designation "FB-4", then
there
must have been a collateral "FB-105"....(and I sure never heard of that
bird).

Now, there was that short lived F4H.....

I never said the designation was actually given to it. The 4 was the
first
to not carry it. I did state the MD classed it as such. You are just
helping the 404thk00ks to destroy another NG, they have a long list of
Military NGs that they have laid waste to. Be careful.


Amazing, old "Selective Recall" himself has trouble remembering what he
claimed.

You're simply a lying asshole, Hunt, a gormless ****** of minimal ability to
comprehend, grotesque incapacity to glance at reference material, and less
intelligence.

So MD (?) called it a fighter bomber. Quaint, since McDonnell designed and
built it back when it was the F4H (and before there wasa McDonnell/Douglas),
because it couldn't be the F4D, because Donald Douglas's stable already hasd
that lovely bat-winged but short legged AW bird, the Skyray, while McDonnell
had the "passing lamented by few" F3H Demon, and the Phantom II (You don't
remember the Phantom 1, the FH-1 or the Banshee, second of the line?).

Incidentally, you silly twit...

The F4 was designed as a carrier based All Weather Interceptor, as
originally configured with no ability to drop ordnance, simply fuel tank
pylons, pylons/racks for the AIM-9 and a belly configured to nestle Sparrow
IIIs comfortably. The first real big time "combat environment" deployment
came after October, 22, 1962, to Key West, VF-101 IIRC, in a pure
interceptor role.
