By all means remove the gun on an aircraft, but I think you would also have to remove the title 'Fighter' from its name. Ah, so then the F-4B/C/D/G/J/K/M/N/S should also have the title 'Fighter' removed from its name. And many MiG-21s as well, along with the F-102, the F-106, most F-101s, etc. I guess you could at least make the argument that the interceptors shouldn't have been called fighters, but I'd have to say that the Phantom's a fighter in anyone's book, with or without internal gun. I think you just proved the point, the biggist drawback to those Phantoms was the lack of an internal gun, otherwise it was a bloody good design... I really like the Phantom!. Funny thing is I was going to mention what you said about interceptors(strike/attack) but I deleted it at the last moment...
