Someone here on PPRuNe compared the F-35 to the F-4, intending the comparison to be unfavorable (he was claiming the F-4 was too unmaneuverable to be a good fighter and not very good as a strike aircraft - and that the F-35 would be the same way).
So we once again see the F-35 being compared to the F-4 - but in a good way, highlighting how good both were on their first carrier suitability trials.
