A pilot will never say that the plane he/she flies is crap in public. No matter what plane it is, you simply dont do that.
Every single aircraft that has been accepted into service with the USAF, USN and USMC since the end of WWII have been superb aircraft. Aircraft that did exactly what they were supposed to do, and usually much more. Some had severe teething problems like the F-111 and F-16, but in their ultimate form they were/are truly superb.
Every single aircraft that has been accepted into service with the RAF and RN since the end of WWII have been superb aircraft.
Every single aircraft that has been accepted into service with the Armée de l'air since the end of WWII have been superb aircraft. The Mirage series in particular stands out as some of the best fighters of all time.
Every single aircraft that has been accepted into service with Flygvapnet since the end of WWII have been superb aircraft. The Gripen has perhaps suffered from more teething problems than the Draken and Viggen, but it is still a superb multi-role fighter.
There has never been a "crap" aircraft in service in any air force in the democratic west since the end of WWII! They have all been superb aircraft and any pilot would be proud to fly them! Some have been better than others, but only in the sense that there are degrees of "superb".
