F22. You can tell it is fast and deadly.
F15 looks like a linebacker ready to blitz. |

Ugh, I had originally posted Joan Jett in a fighter suit because there were so many silly responses. Oh the F15, the F16, the F35 blah blah blah. Truth is, the F4 Phantom wins hands down, no contest.

Quote HistoryQuoted: For me, the best looking attack aircraft is the one that carries a shit load of bombs, puts them on target, has a long reach, and is cheap to build a shit load of them. I bring you the A-7  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p_Mvz5WAEzQIt was the unsung hero of the Vietnam war. It put the hurt on the NVA. If you don’t believe me, just ask the North Vietnamese. Thanks for posting the A7. As a kid, I’ve always thought it looked too cool fully armed. Had to always have a model of it on my shelf |

F14 from an angular view.
F-15 from a purely top/bottom view. I wish there was an F-14.5 that mixed the best parts of both. |

I don't remember if I've ever read anything on how successful they were in testing that concept at supersonic speeds. |

If I recall correctly they were carried internally and the tests from high altitude (60,000ft+) targeting planes at lower altitude (20,000ft) were pretty successful. I cant remember any details about supersonic speed tests however. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: The ugly of an F-18 is through and through. The beauty of fighter airplanes is divided into two camps. 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. Edited for spelling. |

The lightning is butt ugly from every angle in every configuration.  Attached FileHow are you able to type being blind?
