Interceptor, no dogfighter.
Besides it's safety record with our fighter bombers was better than that of the F84 which it replaced (and from what I hear it was also better than that of the Mirage which was the alternative for our air force...but one hears a lot of things when the days are long and I'm not certain it's true...).
Actually it worked pretty well after the teething problems had been ironed out (I won't deny that this took decades and more than a hundred lives in our air force alone).
