In the opinion of everyone here would this still be a viable aircraft today?

That is what I thought of as I read these posts.

It truly was ahead of its time, and IMHO one of the best planes ever engineered.

A modern comparison is the f-22 Raptor.
(yeah yeah, the cost is too much to justify it in an extended combat role, blah blah)
Just saying, ahead of its time.

Love the US or hate us, we sure can build an airplane.
