For some odd reason I have been hooked on fighter movies and shows...
In your opinion, what's the best Fighter Jet and what would you like to see them make for the Joe universe? Ok... I would have put the F-16, F-18 S/S and some other, but I didnt have the room, thats why I have other on there.... Sorry if I didnt get them all... You can pick more then just one, I couldnt decide so I went with the Tomcat and Su-37....

I gotta give it to the Raptor. I've heard pilots say that it's so advanced that it's almost not even fair to their opponents.
I'll give the F-18 and Thunderbolt props though. For their respective roles, both are amazing as well, and for its day the SR-71 Blackbird was just a monster (but not actually a fighter). |

Can't really do a straight-ahead comparison without defining what you mean by "best." Fastest? Most agile? Highest weapons payload? Lowest radar signature? Most versatile? All of the above?
Also, it depends on what role you want the aircraft to play. An air superiority fighter (like the F-22 Raptor) would have different performance parameters from a Suppression of Enemy Air Defenses fighter (like the F-15E). A ground attack fighter (like the A-10 Thunderbolt) would most probably not be as effective in a multirole fighter mission the way an F-16 would be. |

The F-22 is the most advanced fighter jet in the skies. It has a low radar signal, variable payload capability and the ability to play both an air superiority role AND a ground support/supression role. The A-10 is NOT a fighter it is purely a ground support attack jet, known as a "tank killer". SR-71 is also NOT a fighter it is to large and cumbersome to be a fighter, they did try it as a interceptor in the 70's but to no avail. HANDS DOWN THE F-22 is the BEST ALL AROUND FIGHTER!

I grew up on an AFB where I could see "russia from my front porch". They had a couple of squadrons of F-15 Eagles they called Bear Hunters. Watching them do manuevers right over my house was such a rush when I was a kid. Who am I kidding? I still get that rush today although I don't see them hardly enough. I think that if it were updated it could take on the Raptor anyday of the week. The SR-71 was and will always be my favorite jet but like Zefram pointed out she was not a fighter.

I guess I should have rephrased it... I know the SR-71 and A-10 are not Fighters, but just think of them as maybe being ones....
Also, here are some pics to go with the thread.... Anyone else has any, feel free to add to it... Su-37 Mig-29 F-14
