Archaic just isn't a correct term for the F/A 18. There might be more advanced versions out there, but the original design is still a marvel of aeronautical engineering.
I saw these Canadian jets fly at an airshow. One of them was flying really low at just above stall speed at a high AOA (with it's nose pointed high.) For some reason at this speed it was so incredibly loud it made the ground shake. Then it put on afterburners and and shot almost straight up and was through the clouds in seconds.
