F-22 its just damn sexy looking. Also, has the USA had any fights against any enemy with a 'formidable' well trained air force since Vietnam? From what I gather, Libya was a joke, and Iraq war 1 they had 10+ year out dated equipment from what we gave them to fight the Iranians in the Iraq/Iran war and old russian stuff. I guess the Israeli have had their share of combat (don't know if they use f15s or f16s).

'16s I think. Maybe both. Either way, next time might as well just stick with "F-22" and forget the rest, yeah? No offense, just don't want to see yet *another* Hijacked thread.

"I'm unsure why the FAF needed a tropical variant."
Because almost all missions were flown from sand or gravel based aerodromes and the dust problem was quite bad.

When I was 17 and getting ready for my senior year in high school, my dad had the contract to repaint the McDonald Douglas Air force Plant here in Tulsa http://digital.library.okstate.edu/encyclopedia/entries/T/TU006.html (http://digital.library.okstate.edu/encyclopedia/entries/T/TU006.html). I worked all summer from like 6am to 2:30 pm every day of the week and it didn't rain for like 30 days! That was the summer of 1980. 1980 was HOT, it was around 102F every day.
Douglas was overhauling old F4's. It was a total overhaul and they would have about 40 jets inside the plant in different stages of overhaul. It was like an assembly line.
The old phantoms would fly into Tulsa, then be striped of paint, and then all the panels would be removed. About twice a week they would have about three of these beast ready for takeoff. They would strap them to the runway, run up the engines, then hand them over to a test pilot. The sound these things would create was incredible. Then the Douglas test pilots would taxi to the end of the runway, run it up and would hug the the runway close as they roared down the the runway. The guard would say they were at 350mph as the pulled their noses up. Then 30 seconds later they were at 30,000'. Talk about noise, everyone would stop and watch. I heard they were going to Saudi Arabia at the time.

My one true love, the Spitfire XII
(http://i152.photobucket.com/albums/s199/guppy35/SpitXIIPair.jpg)
Early model 38s and 51B/C are a close second and third. As for jets, the F4D has always been a favorite since getting to see the NDANG Happy Hooligan F4Ds fly back when I was in college. Talk about brute force power.

I completely agree... Nothing is as esthetically pleasing to the eye than the Sabre. Perfect lines.

I also agree with the f86. Got to walk around one at Reno last year too, much smaller than I had imagined. Awesome plane!

I think it's pretty obvious what mine is :neener:
