Was the F-5 alone in its lack of radars in the 1960s?

I'm not quite sure it holds up in the quality department or is as iconic. Just my humble opinion.

If we were on the wrong side of the Iron Curtain, or former Iron Curtain, would the Mi-8 be more iconic? I haven't forgotten that Hollywood films, CDs, discs, etc, might influence even the not western nations. Who hasn't seen Apocalypse Now?

Just wondering, does Vietnam still use UH-1s?

I doubt it. They were still operating a few in the early 2000s but haven't come across anything on their status

German aircraft are nuclear capable so that they may deploy US nuclear weapons in the event the Cold War turned hot.

I totally agree, but I think we can all agree that if German F104's start toting nukes around for real, debates over which had the best climb or turn becomes totally irrelevant.

Sure, but that was not the question right?

I get a kick out of the "No Smoking" sign above the MiG. 2:14 minute mark.
