Equipped with a thrust-to-weight ratio that enhanced its agility, the F-4 Phantom II could effectively engage enemy aircraft in air-to-air combat. Its service ceiling of around 60,000 feet allowed it to operate at high altitudes, giving it an edge in air superiority missions. The aircraft could achieve a maximum speed of Mach 2.23

We may be the best pilot ever born, but we can’t force a tired Skyhawk to climb above its genuine absolute ceiling, undefined by any performance chart.
