Interesting Question
#3

Given the current technological state of most Air Forces in the world, I would have to say no.

Here's why:
  • Too slow
  • Can't carry any real payload
  • Not enough range
  • No redundant systems
  • No or very low stealth capabilities
  • No refuel capabilities
  • Not capable of carrying modern munitions (due to power/weight limitations)
  • No modern FCS (Fire Control Systems, again not practical due to weight)

Now while you could modernize some WWII aircraft, it would be completely impractical due to weight restrictions of the older airframes. In order to mount, lets say, the capability to fire sidewinder missiles and drop a bomb or two, you would have to add so much extra equipment that the platform would loose all the abilities that made it such a fine weapons platform during WWII.

S!
