Some planes have long had a reputation for being deadly in air-to-air combat. That is an arena built for the fast and evasive — and planes get faster and more evasive all the time.

But what do we do about the older fighters? Retirement or being passed on, second-hand, to other countries happens to some models, and some of these designs are so good, they last for decades. (The P-51 served in a military role until 1985). Other planes, however, undergo a little role change and start dropping bombs instead.
