"Was" being the operative word.
The 1968 Camaro was a pretty awesome car, but nobody would ever argue that Chevrolet should build it today as a current model. It wouldn't meet standards for safety, emissions, customer demands for comfort, efficiency, features, etc.
The Eagle was a phenomenal aircraft for it's time...but so many folks do not understand that time is passing, and it will be well outclassed in the future.
