Just because the F-4 was a fighter-bomber doesn't mean it was ever
called "FB-4". The F-15 is a fighter-bomber as well, and it isn't
called
"FB-15" either.

I already admitted to that about 7 years ago. But you are playing into
the 404thk00ks game here. No, it wasn't but it easily could have been
since all others before it carried that designation.

Huh? "All others before it carried that designation." - what kind of
bull**** is _that_!? There was exactly _one_ USAF aircraft which was ever
designated "FB", and that was the FB-111!

But when you put a B up there certain agreements with the Soviets became
in question. The FB was dropped and never returned [...]

Many FB-111As were indeed redesignated as F-111G late in their service
career. But this absolutely nothing to do with the fact, that there were
never any _other_ "FB"-designated aircraft in the USAF.

There were many more than that but I can see you really won't believe it so
why would I bother.

And thank you for playing "Bowling for Breadloaves" you can pick up your
parting gifts at the door.

Yes, don't bother. Given the number of original USAF and DOD designation
records I have seen, none of which supports your "FB-4" BS, I will indeed
not believe you.

Nice try, but if you want to win the r.a.m. "Crackpot of the Month" contest
against Mr. Arndt, you'll have to do better :-)!
