I'd prefer it if they came out with an Falcon or the Blackbird. Not a real big fan of the 15s. Nuttin against em, just not as agile as the 16, and nowhere near as sexy as the 71.

The 71 wasn't a fighter, carried no weapons. A 15 could carry a lot of firepower, was faster than 16, and at altitude could out turn the 16! Never assigned to work them, but did work armament systems on F-4 and F-16s, and a few times assisted 15's from Okinawa that came in to Korea with in-flight emergencies.
Just like the sleek look of the 71. Nice lines and edges, and a broadhead in that shape would cut thru the air like a hot knife thru butter.

One of its nicknames was "Harpoon"!
I have a couple other terms for her too, but I don't want company from my past employer.
