In an F-4 you could in fact turn with a MiG-21 below 250 kts by using approach flaps (1/2 flaps). In that condition you could actually turn in front of the MiG-21 if you were above him since he could not bring his nose up to track you.
comment of Bevo's which led me to make the observation regarding the nose pointing ability of the Mig 21 at low speed.
Curious how you're using comments from posters to arrive at your conclusion. The others here are pulling from thier own memory, some from having flown both to arrive at theirs.
There's nothing wrong admitting you're a defense journo type and not a pilot.
Yes, I also would like to know who offered a front seat ride in a F-15. Microsoft?
