What is your favorite jet fighter?mine is the F-8 crusader.
After working on the best fighter ever for 21 years :) I'd say the F-15!
When you grew up with and went to war with her....she means a lot to you. LOL!

Tough question. Toss-up between the F-86 Sabre and F-4 Phantom.
Hands down, Phabulous F4 Phantom, in the E, G, and RF4C versions. For some reason I just love Big Ugly with all her angles and dangle.
Though not jets, second place goes to our other bent wing, the F4U, and third to the F6F, but those are a coin toss.
I'm kind of partial to the F-4 as well.

Hi;
Old school - the F-86 " Sabre Dog"
middle school - the F-15 " strike-Eagle" AND the F-14
Now - the F- 35"A" "Raptor" ?
T.B.
Any fighter designed and built by MDC.

I never get tired of watching the end of "The Right Stuff", with the NF-104.
I've also always been a fan of the Phantom II.
And, how about the EE Lightning? Or the Mig 19? Why have one engine when two will do?
Modeling is an excuse to buy books.
yeah,no limit to U.S. built any country will do.
Just because it was the coolest shaped jet in the whole world when I was growing up, the Chance Vought F7U-3 Cutlass! Yeah, I'm probably the only one.
Here's my 1/72 Fujimi F7U-3M Cutlass out of the box:
I like the F15 but my favorite jet would be the Sukhoi 33 Sea Flanker.
Nick.
For classic lines, the F-86 Sabre.
For childhood nostalgia, the F-4 Phantom (I'm an '80s kid but always loved the Phantom).
For pure domination, the F-15, as it has never been beaten in aeiral combat.
For today, the F-22 Raptor.
And I do love an A-4 Skyhawk...

You're not the only one,i always like the oddball a/c alot.It's in my top 10.
Yep, Paul, the Gutless. I like the F4D too.
I like all of the fighters above. I would add the F/A18. Probably because I've seen her in air shows and it looked like quite the ride. LOL
Plus here in Michigam we've had the Gold Cup boat races the past several years down in Detroit. A couple F18's from Selfridge Air Base up in Macomb county do flybys and aerobatics for the Saturday/Sunday boat races.
Well, what I kind figured out a few years ago is that they do practice runs the Friday before the races along the Detroit River. So if you head down there Friday and stand on the bridge to Belle Isle on the Detroit River you get your own personal air show. They fly straight towards you on the bridge the pull up in a high performance climb. So you can crane your neck and look right up into the afterburners.
They do some high alpha manuevers where they fly by real slow. And some tail hook demonstrations. It's all pretty cool.

If it's for ground work, as impressed as I was when I saw one of the first A-10s on its way to its first squadron (escorted by a A-37 it would soon be replacing), I'd have to go with:
For a air to air It's a toss up: or I was with the squadron when it came time to convert to the Eagle.

That looks familiar!

F-18s...at Selfridge???
Maybe just for a visit?
I know the F-16's are there...as well as the A-10's(moved from Battle Creek several years ago)...hadn't heard anything about F-18's.
BTW...my older bro is a WSO(back seat) on F-18D's.

Building a kit from your stash is like cutting a head off a Hydra, two more take it's place.

I don't have a single favorite:
Chasing the ultimate build.
When I was there I was in operations where I worked with the pilots and helped design the new aircraft markings for the F-15s. Went through more than one Monogram kit before we were done. My supervisor and I did the photo work for the Baremetal decal sheets for the 5th F.I.S.
I had a set custom made in 1/32nd scale and used them on the Tamiya kit which eventually was auctioned off at one of our contests with the proceedings going to the widow of one of our members.
Hey Fermis, those shots were taken at Korat. At the time we had two units with the A-7, the 354th T.F.W. and the 3rd T.F.S. belonging to the 388th T.F.W.
I'll have to put in the daddy of them all.
Apart from it being German, i know, i am so perdictable, i just love the lines of the 262.
I am a Norfolk man and i glory in being so
