Quoted: I'm probably a bit biased, but I'm an F-15 guy. https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/44525/33fw-f15-eglin_jpg-2612920.JPG View Quote I'm biased too. This one was the first one I was assigned to as an ADCC fresh out of tech school in 1995 and then as the DCC in 1998. Attached File Attached File |

After looking at all the pics in this thread so far, I think the F-4 takes it, followed by the F/A-18. Damn it's a pretty bird.

Also the first fighter to perform a Cobra Maneuver, although that maneuver was designed to counter a superstall condition the plane was known for. |

The first group consists of airplanes with that racy, thoroughbred look; F-16's, F-5's, one or two Russian airplanes, and others in their time such as the F-86 and F-104. The other group of airplanes may not be the prettiest in a low pass, but they have the broad shoulders, two powerful engines, long legs, and announce to the world that, "I'm the boss. 'Round here, and over at your place." F-15's and F-22's live here. |

Eagle is sexy. Think F-18 is a looker too. |

Admittedly, they fall into a third category for me, the same one as a dirty stripper with too much ink. |

Quoted: F-22, followed by the SU-57 https://wallpapercave.com/wp/rVIUgmv.jpg https://www.gladiusds.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/Sukhoi_T-50_Maksimov.jpg View Quote Hard to argue with this. I voted f16, but I immediately regretted not mentioning the f22. |
